Veteran Phil got down on his knees. He openly sobbed. He remembered he was wracked with such intense emotions.

“I think I am going to go home and farm my land,” said Veteran Phil. “I just want to lead a normal life now. I am done with war and battlefields. I hope there is no more war for a very long time to come! Victory Day is here!”
