CHAPTER 79 - A FATHER’S STRUGGLE

Ex-Commander Donald found himself thrust back into civilian life without a moment's reprieve. The military camp, where he had once held sway as a respected commander, had ejected him unceremoniously, stripping him of his privileges and status. By the time the sun dipped below the horizon, he had returned to his humble abode.

Donald had promised many of his comrades that regardless of what happened on the battlefield he would ensure their kids were fed, clothed and protected.
