LAWTON, Okla. -- A 72-year-old great-grandmother from Oklahoma is preparing for deployment to the war zone in Iraq.

Lena Haddix will be a civilian employee of the Department of Defense and volunteered for the duty. She said she wanted to do something for her country.

Haddix was a military wife and has worked at the Fort Sill PX since 1977. She's expected to have a similar job in Iraq, working 10 hours a day.
