98.1 KHAK First Responder Friday Honors Jackson Graham

Every Friday morning at 6:30 a.m., 98.1 KHAK's Brain & Courtlin pay tribute to an Eastern Iowa first responder during our 'First Responder Friday' segment! The weekly honoree receives a $25 gift card to Wild Hogs Saloon and Eatery in Walford and a $25 gift card to Honor and Respect.

Today we're honoring Jackson Graham, who was nominated by Nash Hamilton (another recent First Responder Friday honoree)! The entry reads:

"Jackson Graham, 20, of Alburnett, is a hardworking and committed driver for Center Point Ambulance Service. His journey in emergency services began early, having been around first responders like his father and brothers since he was a child. That early exposure sparked a deep interest in helping others, shaping his passion for emergency response work. Jackson had been a member on the Alburnett Fire Department since a cadet prior to joining Center Point Ambulance Service. Jackson has continued to grow in the field, earning respect for his dedication, strong work ethic, and drive to serve his community in times of need. Jackson will also celebrate his 21st birthday on July 5th, Happy Birthday Jackson!"

Congratulations to Jackson! We thank him for his service and dedication!
