Annie Ruth Graham (November 7, 1916 – August 14, 1968) was a U.S. Army officer who was the highest-ranked American servicewoman to die during the Vietnam War.
Lieutenant Colonel Graham was the chief nurse at the 91st Evacuation Hospital in Tuy Hòa. In August 1968, she suffered a stroke and was evacuated to Japan where she died four days later. She had been a veteran of both World War II and the Korean War.[1] Graham was one of eight American servicewomen who died during the Vietnam War.[2] She was buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
Her name is on Panel 48W, Line 12 of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.[3]
The landscape surrounding the Vietnam Women's Memorial includes eight yellowwood trees that represent the eight American servicewomen who died during the Vietnam War - Graham, Carol Ann Drazba, Eleanor Grace Alexander, Pamela Dorothy Donovan, Elizabeth Ann Jones, Mary Therese Klinker, Sharon Ann Lane, and Hedwig Diane Orlowski.[4][5][6] The only servicewoman killed in action was First Lieutenant Sharon Lane; the rest died of accidents and illness.[7][8]
