"This is how Nicole Goodwin travels these days:
with her 1-year-old daughter pressed to her chest
in a Snugli, a heavy backpack strapped across her shoulders,
and a baby stroller crammed with as many bags of clothes
and diapers as it can hold. When you are a homeless
young mother, these are the things you carry.
"And tucked away somewhere are the documents
attesting to Ms. Goodwin's recent honorable discharge
from the United States Army, as well as
Baghdad memories that are still fresh."
