Veterans Day should not exist. In a perfect world, there would be no hate, no greed, no fighting, no disagreements, no wars and no reason for armed forces. The world would be a peaceful, loving environment for all of mankind. From the dawn of history, things did not go according to plan. Veterans Day is a relatively new holiday, or rather a day when we should remember those who have served in the armed forces. It was first declared as Armistice Day by president Woodrow Wilson, after the ceasefire on the western front in World War I. The armistice was signed as a peace treaty to halt fighting on November 11, 1918. The agreement at the time was for countries to never engage in war again.
