Man goes from homelessness to a job serving country...

[Dawgs]

Robert Henderson lived in the woods of an Atlanta park but soon will be living in Iraq — in an American uniform.

The formerly homeless man, who used to get his best sleep riding early morning MARTA trains, soon will be Spc. Robert Henderson of the 1st Battalion, 118th Field Artillery, of the Georgia National Guard. He is expected to report to Fort Stewart near Savannah this morning.
