GARY N GRAHAM (Lightning)


Graham arrived at Fort Campbell, KY in 1967 and was assigned to Weapons Platoon. He went with A Company to Vietnam, December 1967. Gary is no longer with us.

We called Gary " Lightning " for his laid-back, relaxed mannerisms and slow deliberate speech - comment by Jack Sherby.
