The cost of every war is high… and Operation Iraqi Freedom was no exception.

In under eight months Maj. General Mark Graham, USA (Ret.) and his wife Carol suffered the loss of their two sons. 2LT Jeff Graham, killed in Iraq by an IED blast and Senior ROTC Cadet Kevin Graham, who lost his battle with depression. Their sons died fighting different battles, but both dedicated their lives to serving the nation.

The Grahams’ story shares their journey through grief, healing and their decision to spend their lives helping others receive mental health and other critical support.
