A Soldier Comes Home


De Kalb, Illinois: Buckle on the Corn Belt

     Tom stood in his desert camouflage behind a barbed wire fence, staring at a vast field of corn, the young green stalks about a foot high.  He had been back from Iraq for twelve days, and hadn't yet traded his camouflage uniform for his old denim shirt and jeans.  The soldier wasn't able yet to become a farmer again, because the soldier hadn't yet found a way home.
