Mark & Carol Graham Share Their Journey

Major General Mark Graham and his wife, Carol Graham, have endured the deaths of their two sons, Kevin and Jeffrey. Their boys died fighting different battles - Jeffrey was killed in action in Iraq in 2004 while warning his platoon of danger, and Kevin died by suicide in 2003 while training to become a military doctor. Their grief seemed overwhelming, and they considered leaving military life completely. But instead they dedicated their lives to helping others. Tehy talk about their boys and raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. The Grahams are actively involved with TAPS and help other surviving families of our fallen military. This interview was filmed by the Pentagon Channel as part of their "Restoring Hope" series devoted to preventing suicide in the military.
