I’ve been following Maj. Gloria Davis’s story. Sad, indeed. She was deployed to Iraq for the second time in September of this year. She was 47 years old, and had two years before she could retire from the military. And no word about the circumstances surrounding her death.

A mother shares her grief after her daughter becomes one of the latest casualties in the war on Iraq.

Military families across the country dread hearing about yet another death overseas.

This time the news came to a Portageville family.

Army Major Gloria Scott-Davis becomes the Heartland’s first female casualty, and our twentieth service person to die in the line of duty.

The Major’s mother is both angry and in a state of shock.

Military service is a tradition in this family; the Major’s son and daughter also served.

Major Gloria Scott-Davis herself had been in the army for 18 years, and had only two years to go before she retired.

Scott-Davis’s mother thought she lost her daughter five years ago.

In September 2001, the Army Major worked at the Pentagon, but when terror struck on 9-11 luck was on Annie Washington’s side.
