Army National Guard, balked when their mother announced that she was transferring to their unit, the 547th Transportation Company, and deploying to Iraq with them.<\/p>\n<p>The news was worse than having her chaperone a first date.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I told her to stay home and bake cookies,&#8221; Chandra Miller said. Even more worrisome was the prospect of losing their mother, Sgt. Marcia Reid, in combat, which would be like &#8220;losing my whole world,&#8221; Chandra Miller said.<\/p>\n<p>Reid had considered staying home and spending the year doting on her grandchildren and working her safe IT job. But Reid is a soldier &#8212; and a mother. And two of her four daughters were headed for Iraq. &#8220;If they were to get hurt I would much rather be with them,&#8221; she said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s a nice story (I&#8217;m sure someone will find something to grouse about, though) and I thought I&#8217;d post it for y&#8217;all.
