Highway named for fallen Marine
COWETA, Okla. - Hundreds of people turned out to help dedicate a stretch of highway to an Oklahoma Marine killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq.
Marine Sgt. James Randolph Graham III was honored Saturday with a memorial highway sign unveiling and procession along the newly named three-mile section of Oklahoma 51 through Coweta.
Graham's sons, Thomas, 7, and J.R., 10, were given an American flag and a replica of the highway sign bearing their father's name.
"It's good for the boys because it will be there for years and years," said Melissa Graham, whose husband was killed in combat Aug. 1, 2005. "As long as they have memories, I think things will be good."
The highway dedication was in front of Coweta Junior High School and was sponsored by a local American Legion chapter and other veterans groups.
