Mr. Earl Graham is a former Army captain who spent time on the DMZ back in the days when it was really dangerous. Many veterans remember the infamous Korean Axe Murder Incident.
The Korean axe murder incident, AKA the Panmunjom axe murder incident involved the killing of two United Nations Command officers, Captain Arthur Bonifas and First Lieutenant Mark Barrett, by North Korean soldiers on August 18, 1976.
This occurred in the Joint Security Area (JSA) in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The American Army officers had been part of a work party cutting down a poplar tree in the JSA which was blocking the view from the guard towers.
Three days later, US and South Korean forces launched Operation Paul Bunyan, an operation that cut down the tree with a show of overwhelming force to intimidate North Korea into backing down, which it did. North Korea accepted responsibility for the earlier killings.
We’re not sure Graham’s service goes back that far, but the point is the DMZ is a very dangerous place and then Captain Graham was there protecting American and South Korean interests in the “danger zone.”
Mr. Graham did his time and fortunately for all veterans, he came back alive. He is now the President of Veterans America and spends every waking moment helping veterans who know nothing about how the VA actually works.
We have personally witnessed Graham efforts lift people out of homelessness and put them on the path to prosperity.
In one particular case a homeless veteran was contemplating suicide. Graham got him stabilized. The veteran began driving a bus. Having a strong work ethic, he saved every dime he made and worked as much overtime as he could.
Within a year, this formerly homeless vet had built up a sizeable sum and made a down payment on a new home.
It is an amazing story that Graham has never gotten any credit for. In fact, Graham doesn’t get credit for nearly all the work he does for Americas veterans. He’s not in it for the credit. He does it because he knows he can make a difference in the lives of those who have served America.
RUNNING INTO A BRICK WALL
Occasionally, Earl Graham, during the course of helping veterans will run into a brick wall the VA has erected.
The system literally creates brick walls either to protect turf or sometimes just out of spite because Graham is so demanding.
What Graham demands is never unreasonable, but the VA sometimes views it as unreasonable. The VA doesn’t like it when people push them to do their job properly.
Graham generally tries to resolve problems at the lowest level, but that does not always work out.
On a recent case, Graham tried virtually everything to resolve the matter through the lower echelons of the VA.
Nothing worked. Graham felt he had no alternative but to get in touch with the Secretary of the VA, Mr. Doug Collins directly.
He really didn’t want to bother the VA Secretary, but when the system fails, Secretary Collins needs to know about it.
This is what Graham’s email to Secretary Collins said…
SENT: 6/27/2025 at 1:04 PM
Dear Secretary Collins,
I hope this message finds you well. It is with a heavy heart and a sense of responsibility that I bring to your attention the alarming issue of unprofessional conduct within the office of the Undersecretary.
It has come to our notice that several individuals, namely Dr. Lieberman, Annie Duran, and Arnie Del Pena, have been involved in fraudulent activities that have been detrimental to the integrity of our nation.
The presence of under secretarial staff engaging in fraudulent conduct, waste, and abuse is not only unacceptable but also tarnishes the reputation of our office.
Annie Duran’s involvement in training field personnel has also raised serious concerns about the professionalism and ethical standards being upheld in our organization.
I hereby urge you to take immediate action to investigate these allegations and put an end to the
unethical behavior displayed by these individuals.
It is imperative that we maintain the highest standards of integrity and accountability to uphold the values of our organization.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and trust that you will take the necessary steps to address these issues appropriately. If you require any additional information or assistance from my end, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this urgent matter.
Sincerely,
Earl Graham, President
Veterans America
Mr. Graham is waiting for a response from Secretary Collins office. As of this publishing, there has been no response. We are hoping the VA Secretary becomes personally involved.
In fact, we would respectfully recommend that Secretary Collins consider contacting Mr. Graham, because the commander of any ship always does well to know what is going on in the bowels of his ship. In this case, since Graham was Army, we’ll say it would be good to know what’s going on at the front lines.
No one on this earth knows better than Earl Graham as to what things the VA could change to make lives better for everyone.
Secretary Collins, if you really want to know what’s going on in the Veterans Administration, consider spending a day with Earl Graham as he runs all over hell and gone to help veterans literally on a nationwide basis.
One of the cases he’s working on is an actor from the original Star Trek series who lives in Las Vegas. The actor (Mr. Sean Kenney) was known by different names on Star Trek. Most people know him as either Lt. DePaul or Captain Christopher Pike in the famous Menagerie series.
Actor Sean Kenney is getting up in years and is trying to get help from the VA through Veterans America. We are keeping an eye on this particular case because Sean Kenney served in the Air Force with people we know.
SUMMARY:
Dear Secretary Collins, consider helping Mr. Graham break the log jam that is severely impairing his ability to help the Veterans get the services they need.
Normally, as our name suggests, we zero in on military corruption. We are not sure to what extent there is corruption in this case, but we can tell you for a fact, there is some very poor leadership going on.
Some people need to be fired or reprimanded for intentionally throwing up road blocks as people like Mr. Graham try to help America’s veterans.
A special note to Mr. Graham: Contact us at once should you find any instance of malfeasance. Provide us with photos of the perpetrators if you have it. If necessary we will do a series of articles to expose any and all corruption that is ultimately harming our veterans.
This we will not tolerate. We owe it to those who have gone before us.
