Tonja and Travis Chaney

Tonja and Travis Chaney (pictured), both in the US Army, had the opportunity to experience their daughter’s first day of school this year from thousands of miles away as they are stationed in Iraq. Their daughter, Tatianna Harris, is currently enrolled at Vines EC/PK Center in Aldine ISD. Grandmother Henrietta Jackson is taking care of Tatianna while her parents are away.

The picture shows both parents displaying their school spirit while holding the country’s colors. Tonja Chaney is stationed with HHC BDE, 4-1 AD in Kirkur, Iraq while Travis Chaney is with HHC STB, 4-1 AD in Taji, Iraq. Both parents are on a one-year deployment and are trying to stay as involved as they can in their daughter’s first year of school.
