The vision recorded in Daniel 8 came to the prophet in the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar of Babylon (553-554 B.C.). This was just two years after Danielâs vision of four beasts and a little horn recorded in Daniel 7.
Although originally scheduled for celebration on November 11 of every year, starting in 1971 in accordance with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October (Oct 25, 1971; Oct 23, 1972; Oct 22, 1973; Oct 28, 1974; Oct 27, 1975; Oct 25, 1976 and Oct 24, 1977).
Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day. Memorial Day is the day we honor those who have died for our country. On Veterans Day we honor the living veterans and thank them for their service.
