Makaiya,
Just because we don't understand something does not make it an insult. But ignorance of something does not enable one to insult what they are ignorant of. Veteran's Day in layman terms means that someone went to war to protect your freedom. American soldiers put their lives in jeopardy so that American citizens can sleep peacefully and keep their freedom. Soldiers put your freedom before their families and friends because they believe it to be a worthy cause. Because they chose to fight on your behalf you have the liberty and freedom to worship, speech, press, assembly, and petition where you please without fear of death; you don't have to worry that you are going to house military without a say; to possess weapons; freedom of unreasonable search and seizure; right to due process of law, free from self-incrimination, double jeopardy; right to fair, speedy, and public trial; right to trial by jury in civil cases; freedom from excessive bail, cruel and un-humane punishments; rights of all people; and separation of church and state. The right to vote for the candidate of your choice and the amendments that are up for vote. That is why Veteran's and Veterans's Day is honored.
