Private Mark Anthony Graham
1 RCR
4 September 2006
Killed by U.S. A-10 attack aircraft.
Mark Graham was an Olympic runner whose best friend was a soldier who spoke at the memorial service. Pte. Adam White tearfully recalled a man who was always there for him.
“I remember one night when we were talking about how much I missed my girlfriend and whether joining the army was the right decision for me, Mark eased my mind by reading me a Bible verse that I had tattooed on my arm because it meant so much,” White said.
Mark is running with angels now.
