"She wanted to do it all."

That's what Sharon mother Marrianne Maurice said of her daughter, Specialist Monica Thompson, who is stationed in Balad, Iraq as a military police officer. And it seems she is doing it all.

Miss Thompson, 26, is a reservist with the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Tobyhanna, Pa. When not working in the military, she is a part-time policewoman with the Southwest Mercer County Regional Police Department.

Miss Thompson was activated from November 2001 until October 2002; she was activated again in February 2003.

During the beginning of Homeland Security, Miss Thompson was selected to be on the cover of a magazine advertising the Tobyhanna Army Depot. Only one person from each branch of the military was selected for the cover.
