CBS News reports that some senior vets are being called to Iraq.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/02/24/iraq/main541815.shtml

This story can be accessed by clicking on Seniors Called To War video at the top under the header about 4 Marines KIA.

One of the soldiers returning to Iraq is 68, a colonel, and will be a counselor because the suicide rate is 35% higher for soldiers in Iraq than those serving anywhere else.
