Home From Iraq, and Without a Home

Nicole Goodwin and her daughter Shayla

The New York Times yesterday carried this shocking story of a female veteran, recently served in Iraq and honourably discharged, who is homeless in New York with a one-year old daughter. You can read the article for the explanation of how this can happen, but really, it doesn't need an explanation so much as an apology. This link came via American Samizdat.
