Iowa grandmother deployed to Iraq

Grandmother deployed to Iraq 10 months before retirement

DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) -- A grandmother in eastern Iowa is getting one last call to duty.

Janet Grass, 52, had planned to retire from the military in about ten months after spending 19 years in the Navy Reserve. Instead, she has been ordered to leave her job as a special-education teacher in Cascade and do security work in the Middle East.

Grass boarded an airplane yesterday at the Dubuque Regional Airport amid emotional goodbyes from her family, which includes four children and six grandchildren.

Maybe one of the fighting 101st keyboardists would want to step up and take her place. Sean? Jonah? Assrocket?
