In Memoriam

U.S. Army Sgt. Graham Woody '08 died April 5 when an armed vehicle he was driving rolled over during a training exercise at the Ana Dona range complex of Fort Bliss. Sgt. Woody, 27, was in the Third Brigade, First Armored Division.

Sgt. Woody, who graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in engineering technology, was a member of  the Corps of Cadets, Company N-1 Knights.

"He would be the poster child of the Army: good looking, clean cut, all-American boy that was always waving the American flag and would do anything for anybody," said Don Armstrong, Woody family spokesperson.

Sgt. Woody was featured by the Austin news station, KXAN, in its "Austin Salutes" series last February. He served a year in Afghanistan where he was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge.

Military honors for Sgt. Woody will be presented at 11:30 a.m., April 12 at the Houston National Cemetery, located at 10410 Veterans Memorial Drive in Houston. The ceremony is open to the public.
