Crosstalk: November 12, 2015

Jim began this edition of Crosstalk by giving listeners an overview of the history of Veterans Day. This included what precipitated the name change from Armistice Day as well as the change that took place due to the signing of the Uniform Holiday Bill in 1968. That bill was designed to give three day weekends for federal employees for the celebration of four national holidays which included Veterans Day. On September 20th of 1975, a public law was signed by President Ford that would return the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original day of November 11th beginning in 1978. The majority of this Crosstalk is comprised of comments from listeners as they honor and thank both those who have served and are still with us as well as those who are currently serving. The Crosstalk Radio Talk Show is heard each weekday on over 90 radio outlets across America and worldwide on the Internet. Crosstalk covers the issues that affect our world, our nation, our families and the Christian church from a perspective centered in the Word of God. Whether we discuss the economy, the political scene, the continuing moral collapse of our nation, legislation that affects the family, or the state of evangelicalism, our authority is found in the unchanging standard of the Holy Scriptures. Veteran co-hosts Dr. Vic Eliason and Jim Schneider have worked as a team for over 20 years to bring solid information to the body of Christ.
