Guard Mom And Son Going to Iraq Together

 Jane Strand. You may not like it, but consider how things have changed in a single generation.

From the Raleigh, NC, Observer.

Strand, 48, of Jacksonville joined the Marine Corps at age 17 and served 11 years. She got out to raise her six children and waited, she said, for her husband -- also a Marine -- to retire. As soon as he did, she joined the Guard.
