Honoring our Fallen: Adam Cann Our community’s commitment to saying the names of our fallen brothers and sisters and remembering their sacrifice is not only the ultimate mark of respect, but it helps to keep their legacy alive. The tragic death of Adam Cann in Ramadi, Iraq on January 5, 2006, was a significant moment for lots of reasons: The loss of a bright, funny, loyal, life-loving 23-year-old, who was also the first dog handler KIA since the Vietnam war. We spoke to Adam’s dad, Leigh, about his son’s selfless sacrifice and the moments since his death that have brought comfort, through the commitment of keeping Adam’s legacy burning bright.
