Seven-year-old Kristina Cheney hugs her father, U.S. Army Spc. Kristopher Cheney, after a deployment ceremony Nov. 29 at the Buckner Physical Fitness Center on Fort Richardson. About 150 soldiers from Company C, 84th Engineer Battalion, will deploy to Iraq in early December. About 40 percent of the troops returned from the Middle East about 11 months ago, including Cheney, who will deploy to Iraq for the second time. His wife, Yvette, is at right.
