In Memory of Thomas Carlyle Graham lost to Agent Orange in 2013.

“Our Dad. Thomas Carlyle Graham, 1948-2013. Vietnam Hero, and our hero.  Those we love don’t go away. They stand behind us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, but always dear. ” Nikki Graham Retzlaff

Thomas was a mechanic and helicopter gunner. He also handled barrels containing Agent Orange. Thomas didn’t talk hardly at all about his time in Vietnam — he was drafted.

He later developed Parkinson’s as a result of exposure to Agent Orange. — with Shane Graham and Kelli Graham McDermott.
