Pat Quinn visits with Kristi Goodin and Zachary Zimerman, both U.S. Army National Guard specialists who met in Iraq and their 4-month-old son, Wyatt Zimerman in Chicago.

But the bulk of that money is spent on older veterans while many younger soldiers and National Guard troops are returning to a difficult economy looking for help with jobs and training. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File)Reuters - At least seven people were killed when a suicide car bomber hit Iraq's interior ministry on Monday in the latest attack since a crisis erupted between the Shi'ite-led government and Sunni leaders a week ago.
