# 1820: Sgt. James R. Graham III, 25, of Coweta, Okla., died August 1 as result of a suicide, vehicle-born, improvised explosive device while conducting combat operations near Hit, Iraq. Graham was assigned to Marine Reserve�s 4th Tank Battalion, 4th Marine Division, Broken Arrow, Okla. As part of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Graham�s unit was attached to Regimental Combat Team 2, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward).
Kumma's response: Mr & Mrs Graham, your son died Monday in Iraq, but if it's any consolation, he probably would have died in a car crash anyway; six of one, half-dozen of the other, right? Hey, got any beer? I'm parched.
