We visit with a farmer who turned his corn field into a tribute to Vietnam Veterans – a full scale replica of the wall in Washington, D.C.  And in the second half of the show we examine a trend we’ve heard for years – are young people leaving rural America?  We perceive the answer is yes, but we may need to reexamine that answer.
