Anthony Beadle, a Texas National Guardsman who returned home to Marshalltown after a year long tour of duty in Iraq.

Beadle, who now lives in Des Moines, has struggled to hold a steady job. He held his last job at DES Staffing Services Inc. less than a month.

Beadle said he has trouble focusing after his tour in Iraq and is unable to turn off his Guard training.

Injured in a fall from a guard tower in Iraq and diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome upon his return, Beadle now does what he can to pass the time. He spends most of his time at an East Side Hy-Vee cafeteria and is known by name at Big Dog Billiards.
