HISTORY OF VETERANS DAY
Official recognition of the end of the first modern global conflict -- World War I - - was made in a concurrent resolution (44 Stat. 1982) enacted by Congress on June 4, 1926, with these words:
WHEREAS the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most
destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the
resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with
other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and
WHEREAS it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should
be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to
perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between
nations; and
WHEREAS the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already
declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by
the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the President of the
United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to
display the flag of the United States on all Government
buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to
observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with
appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.
An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, and
the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday - - a day to be
dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and
known as "Armistice Day. "
Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World
War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest
mobilization of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen in the Nation's
history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd
Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended
the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting in
lieu thereof the word "Veterans. " With the approval of this legislation
(Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor
American veterans of all wars.
Later that same year, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower
issued the first "Veterans Day Proclamation " which stated:
"In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this
anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire
citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose. Toward this
end, I am designating the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs as
Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include
such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will
coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the
observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and
agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the
National Committee in every way possible."
A letter from the President to the Honorable Harvey V. Higley,
Administrator of Veterans' Affairs, was sent on the same date designating
him to serve as Chairman. In 1958, the White House advised the VA's
General Counsel that there was no need for another letter of appointment
for each new Administrator, as the original proclamation in 1954
established the Committee with the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs as
Chairman.
The Uniforms Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on
June 28, 1968, and was intended to insure three-day weekends for Federal
employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays- -
Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It
was thought that these extended weekends would encourage travel,
recreational and cultural activities and stimulate greater industrial and
commercial production. Many states did not agree with this decision and
continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates. The first
Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on
October 25, 1971.
It was quite apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of
historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citizens,
and so on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public
Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual observance of
Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978.
This action supported the express will of the overwhelming majority of
the State legislatures, all major service organizations and the American
people.
The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only
preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the
important purpose of Veterans Day: a celebration to honor America's veterans
for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for
the common good.
For P. M. Release October 8, 1954
Murray Snyder, Assistant Press Secretary To The President
THE WHITE HOUSE OFFICE
Lowery Air Force Base
Denver
In connection with the signing of the proclamation on Veterans
Day, the President today sent the following letter to the Honorable
Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs:
Dear Mr. Higley:
I have today sighed a proclamation calling upon all of our citizens to
observe Thursday, November 11, 1954 as Veterans Day. It is my earnest
hope that all veterans, their organizations, and the entire citizenry
will join hands to insure proper and widespread observance of this day.
With the thought that it will be most helpful to coordinate the planning,
I am suggesting the formation of a Veterans Day National Committee. In
view of your great personal interest as well as your official
responsibilities, I have designated you to serve as Chairman. You may
include in the Committee membership such other persons as you desire to
select and I am requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of
the Executive branch to assist the Committee in its work in every way
possible.
I have every confidence that our Nation will respond wholeheartedly in
the appropriate observance of Veterans Day, 1954.
Sincerely,
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER
Veterans Day, 1954
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
3071
Whereas it has long been our customs to commemorate November 11,
the anniversary of the ending of World War I, by paying tribute to the
heroes of that tragic struggle and by rededicating ourselves to the cause
of peace; and
Whereas in the intervening years the United States has been
involved in two other great military conflicts, which have added millions
of veterans living and dead to the honor rolls of this Nation; and
Whereas the Congress passed a concurrent resolution on June 4,
1926 (44 Stat. 1982), calling for the observance of November 11 with
appropriate ceremonies, and later provided in an act approved May 13,
1938 (52 Stat. 351) , that the eleventh of November should be a legal
holiday and should be known as Armistice Day; and
Whereas, in order to expand the significance of that
commemoration and in order that a grateful Nation might pay appropriate
homage to the veterans of all its wars who have contributed so much to
the preservation of this Nation, the Congress, by an act approved
June 1, 1954 (68 Stat. 168), changed the name of the holiday to Veterans
Day:
Now, Therefore, I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the
United States of America, do hereby call upon all of our citizens to
observe Thursday, November 11, 1954, as Veterans Day. On that day let
us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly,
on the seas, in the air, and on foreign shores, to preserve our heritage
of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting
an enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.
I also direct the appropriate officials of the Government to arrange
for the display of the flag of the United States on all public buildings
on Veterans Day.
In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this
anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire
citizenry will wish to wish to join hands in the common purpose.
Toward this end, I am designating the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs
as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include
such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate
at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also
requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive
branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way
possible.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and cause the
al of the United States of America to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this eighth day of October in the
Year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and fifty-four, and
of the Independence of the
(SEAL) United States of America the
one hundred and seventy-ninth.

The Purpose Driven Life -
LAKE FOREST, Calif. (BP)--God wants a family, and he created you to be a part of it. This is one of God's purposes for your life, which he planned before you were born. The entire Bible is the story of God building a family who will love him, honor him and reign with him forever.
Because God is love, he treasures relationships. His very nature is relational and he identifies himself in family terms: Father, Son and Spirit. The Trinity is God's relationship to himself. It's the perfect pattern for relational harmony and we should study its implications.
God already exists in loving relationship to himself, so he's never been lonely. He didn't need a family -- he desired one. So he devised a plan to create us, bring us into his family and share with us all he has. This gives God great pleasure.
"It was a happy day for him when he gave us our new lives through the truth of his Word, and we became, as it were, the first children in his new family" (James 1:18, LB).
When we place our faith in Christ, God becomes our Father, we become his children, other believers become our brothers and sisters, and the church becomes our spiritual family. The family of God includes all believers in the past, in the present, and all who will believe in the future.
Every human being was created by God but not everyone is a child of God. The only way to get into God's family is by being born again into it. You became part of the human family by your first birth but you become a member of God's family by your second birth.
"... it is his boundless mercy that has given us the privilege of being born again so that we are now members of God's own family" (1 Peter 1:3b, LB).
The invitation to be part of God's family is universal (Mark 8:34, Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13, 2 Peter 3:9), but there is one condition: faith in Jesus.
Not only are we born again into God's family through faith, the Bible says God also "adopts" us (Romans 8:15, 23, Galatians 4:5, Ephesians 1:5). We don't deserve to be his children, but he has chosen us for this privilege because he loves us.
Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. Our families on earth are wonderful gifts from God, but they are temporary and fragile, often broken by divorce, distance, growing old and, inevitably, by death. On the other hand, our spiritual family -- our relationship to other believers -- will continue throughout eternity. It is a much stronger union, a more permanent bond, than blood relationships.
The moment you were spiritually born into God's family, you were given some astounding birthday gifts: the family name, the family likeness, family privileges, family intimate access and the family inheritance! (1 John 3:1, Romans 8:29, Galatians 4:6-7, Romans 5:2, 1 Corinthians 3:23, Ephesians 3:12, 1 Peter 1:3-5, Romans 8:17)
"Since you are his child, everything he has belongs to you" (Galatians 4:7b, NLT).
The New Testament gives great emphasis to our rich "inheritance." What benefits do we inherit? As children in God's family we are given "the riches ... of his grace ... kindness ... patience ... glory ... wisdom ... power ... and mercy" (Ephesians 1:7, Romans 2:4, Romans 9:23, Romans 11:33, Ephesians 3:16, Ephesians 2:4). We also inherit eternal life and God puts his Spirit inside us now as a guarantee of all that is to come (Ephesians 1:13-14). What an inheritance! You are far richer than you realize.
Your eternal inheritance is priceless, pure, permanent and protected; no one can take it from you. It can't be destroyed by war, a poor economy or disaster. This inheritance, not retirement, is what you should be looking forward to. Retirement is a shortsighted goal.
You should be living in light of eternity.
The Bible says, "Jesus and the people he makes holy all belong to the same family. That is why he isn't ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters" (Hebrews 2:11, CEV).
Let that amazing truth sink in! Because Jesus makes you holy, God is proud of you. Being included in God's family is the highest honor, the greatest privilege you and I will ever receive. Nothing else comes close. Why not pause right now and thank God that he included you.
"Praise God for the privilege of being in Christ's family and being called by his wonderful name!" (1 Peter 4:16, LB).
More than 1,500 churches, in all 50 states, are participating in a national pilot of a six-week spiritual growth emphasis called "40 Days of Purpose," based on Rick Warren's latest book, "The Purpose Driven Life." Baptist Press is carrying a column by Warren each Wednesday as a part of the 40-day initiative. For information on participating in the spring 2003 worldwide campaign, see 40days@purposedriven.com.

THE ROOM
The story behind the story "The Room".
17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for a class. The subject was what Heaven was like. "I wowed 'em," he later told his father, Bruce. "It's a killer, it's the bomb. It's the best thing I ever wrote." It also was the last.
Brian's parents had forgotten about the essay when a cousin found it while cleaning out the teenager's locker at Teary Valley High School. Brian had been dead only hours, but his parents desperately wanted every piece of his life near them-notes from classmates and teachers, his homework. Only two months before, he had handwritten the essay about encountering Jesus in a file room full of cards detailing every moment of the teen's life.
But it was only after Brian's death that Beth and Bruce Moore realized that their son had described his view of heaven. It makes such an impact that people want to share it. You feel like you are there." Mr. Moore said. Brian Moore died May 27, 1997, the day after Memorial Day. He was driving home from a friend's house when his car went off
Bulen-Pierce Road in Pickaway County and struck a utility pole. He emerged from the wreck unharmed but stepped on a downed power line and was electrocuted. The Moores' framed a copy of Brian's essay and hung it among the family portraits in the living room. "I think God used him to make a point. I think we were meant to find it and make something out of it, " Mrs. Moore said of the essay. She and her husband want to share their son's vision of life after death. "I'm happy for Brian. I know he's in heaven. I know I'll see him.
The Room... In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features except for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endless in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that read "Girls I have liked." I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the names written on each one. And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was. This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn't match. A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching.
A file named "Friends" was next to one marked "Friends I have betrayed." The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird. "Books I Have Read," "Lies I Have Told," "Comfort I have given," "Jokes I Have Laughed at." Some were almost hilarious in their exactness: "Things I've yelled at my brothers." Others I couldn't laugh at: "Things I Have Done in My Anger" "Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My Parents." I never ceased to be surprised by the contents. Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my years to each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each signed with my signature. When I pulled out the file marked "TV Shows I have watched," I realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were packed tightly, and yet after two or three yards, I hadn't found the end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of shows but more by the vast time I knew that file represented. When I came to a file marked "Lustful Thoughts," I felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its size, and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content. I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded. An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind: No one must ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy them!" In insane frenzy I yanked the file out. Its size didn't matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. But as I took it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card, only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it. Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to its slot. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying sigh. And then I saw it. The title bore "People I Have Shared the Gospel With." The handle was brighter than those around it, newer, almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box not more than three inches long fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contained on one hand. And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that they hurt. They started in my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. The rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one must ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up and hide the key. But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him. No, please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus. I watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could bring myself to look at His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own. He seemed to intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to read every one? Finally He turned and looked at me from across the room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this was a pity that didn't anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arm around me. He could have said so many things. But He didn't say a word. He just cried with me. Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and, one by one, began to sign His name over mine on each card. "No!" I shouted rushing to Him. All I could find to say was "No, no," as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it was, written in a red so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was written with His blood.. He gently took the card back. He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the cards. I don't think I'll ever understand how He did it so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard Him close the last file and walk back to my side. He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, "It is finished." I stood up, and He led me out of the room. There was no lock on its door. There were still cards to be written.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." ---Phil. 4:13
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." ---John 3:16
If you feel the same way forward it to as many people as you can so the love of Jesus will touch their lives also. My "People I shared the gospel with" file just got bigger, how about yours?

Pepsi has a new patriotic can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Bldg. and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. But Pepsi forgot two little words on the pledge, "Under God." Pepsi said they did not want to offend anyone. If this is true then we do not want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office. If we do not buy any Pepsi product then they will not receive any of our monies. Our money after all does have the words "Under God" on it. Please pass this word to everyone you know. Tell your Sunday School class tomorrow and tell your Pastors so that they can tell the whole congregation. Christians stand up and let your voices be heard. We want the words "under God" to be read by every person who buys a can.
