Fighting For Survival

He went away for a while now returning from military service, things were different—changed! Businesses closed and jobs scarce. Then he asked, “Where are the jobs? Where are the factories and businesses?” They told him: “cheaper labor was found, operating cost was less in other places, they had gone south… and overseas.” “But what about the people? Moms, dads, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, husbands and wives? What will they do now?” “They will find another way!” They told him. The factories and jobs are gone moved to a different place they were fighting to stay afloat struggling to make a profit. He thought, “This is like our men and women, wearing the uniform, in a different place and time, Fighting for survival!” Dedicated to our men and women in uniform on the forefront!
