Wednesday Nov 11 2026 - Happy Veterans Day - Panhandle Scanner News

Before we dig into more of what Veterans Day is and where it evolved, has anyone in Sidney seen a man out at the Boot Hill Cemetery, seemingly non-stop, going from headstone to headstone? His name is Bob Gehrig and he is not a veteran, but he has a passion for helping others, especially those who have served our country. On his own, with his own money and time invested, has decided to take it upon himself to professionally clean and restore gravesites for veterans in Boot Hill Cemetery. He has been interviewed by several organizations there in Sidney, including the Chamber of Commerce, where he joined as a member, but he is not looking for fame or money from this project. It is entirely out of his respect for the deceased veterans. He does welcome donations of large pumice stones, because it takes a large amount on each headstone and they aren't cheap. You can visit his website, which we created for him, at www.gehrigheadstonecleaning.com to get his contact information. We will be posting video and new photos today of the veterans' headstones he has cleaned! Meanwhile, more on where Veterans Day got its roots... Veterans Day began as Armistice Day to mark the end of World War I and evolved into a holiday honoring all U.S. military veterans. World War I and Armistice Day (1918–1937) The Armistice: Major hostilities in World War I ended when an armistice with Germany took effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. First Proclamation: President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11, 1919, as the first Armistice Day to honor the end of the Great War and those who served. Federal Holiday: Congress made Armistice Day a legal federal holiday on May 13, 1938. Becoming Veterans Day (1954) Broadening the Scope: After the massive mobilization of World War II and the Korean War, veteran service groups urged the government to honor all American veterans—not just those from World War I. The Name Change: On June 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill changing the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Shift to Mondays and Return to November 11 (1968–1978) Uniform Holiday Bill: In 1968, Congress passed a law moving Veterans Day and several other federal holidays to Mondays to create long weekends. Restoration: The Monday observances caused widespread public confusion. In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed a law returning the official observance of Veterans Day to Nov. 11 starting in 1978, where it remains today. What was the Armistice? On Nov. 11, 1918, the Armistice of 11 Nov. 1918 took effect, ending the fighting of World War I on the Western Front. The ceasefire began at 11 a.m. Paris time—the famous "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month"—after more than four years of conflict. 5 a.m. Signing. Inside a private railway car parked in the Forest of Compiègne in northern France, German delegates led by Matthias Erzberger signed the ceasefire agreement. Allied Supreme Commander Marshal Ferdinand Foch dictated the terms. The Six-Hour Gap. Rather than stopping the war immediately, commanders set the ceasefire for 11 a.m. so word could reach troops across the front lines. Because several Allied generals pushed final offensives to gain ground before the deadline, nearly 11,000 soldiers were killed, wounded, or went missing during those final six hours. 10:59 a.m. Final Casualty. American Private Henry Gunther was killed while charging a German machine-gun nest just 60 seconds before the ceasefire took effect. He is widely recognized as the last soldier killed in World War I. 11 a.m. Guns Fall Silent. Fighting officially halted along the Western Front. News spread quickly, sparking massive street celebrations in cities like Paris, London, and New York, alongside quiet mourning at the front. Although an armistice is technically a temporary ceasefire rather than a formal peace treaty, the Imperial War Museums notes that the terms effectively ended Germany's ability to continue fighting: Immediate Withdrawal. German forces had to evacuate all occupied territories in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Alsace-Lorraine within 15 days, and pull back behind the Rhine River. Disarmament. Germany surrendered massive amounts of military equipment, including 5,000 artillery pieces, 25,000 machine guns, 1,700 airplanes, and its entire submarine fleet. Prisoners and Blockade. All Allied prisoners of war were released immediately, while the Allies maintained their naval blockade of Germany until a permanent peace treaty was signed. Historical Legacy Official Peace. The war did not legally end until June 28, 1919, with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. Modern Holidays. In 1919, nations began observing Nov. 11 as Armistice Day. Today, the date is commemorated globally as Remembrance Day in Commonwealth nations and as Veterans Day in the United States. Happy Veterans Day!

Don't Fear Be Certain (Certainty in Times of Uncertainty) Day 5 - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

From Certainty In Times of Uncertainty by Dave Villa There is a fire within all of us that is waiting to be ignited. A fire that grows and can spread to those around you if you continue to feed it’s flames. This fire is stronger than the uncertainty that you may be feeling. It has the power to overcome the negativity that may be surrounding you right now. That fire, that passion, that inner strength was instilled in you by God himself. A passion to do what you were made to do, whatever that may be. An inner strength to persevere and come out on top regardless of your opposition. “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 ESV I might be uncertain about what tomorrow will bring, but I’m certain that I need to make things happen today. I may be uncertain about how I’m going to reach my goals, but I’m certain on what my goals are. I’m uncertain on HOW I will be successful, but I am CERTAIN that I will be successful. I’m sure of it. My mind has been made up. My God has provided me with the tools necessary to see my dreams come to fruition. He has watched over me since my creation and His will prevails every time. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11 ESV I’m not sure how I will make it out. But I’m sure. I don’t know when I will accomplish my goals, but I know that they will be accomplished. I am certain of it. Whatever you’re going through is no match for the Lord. Whatever pain, fear, frustration, stress, anxiety, or uncertainty is made CERTAIN through Jesus Christ. In times of uncertainty, don’t be afraid. Be certain.

Failure is Not Final (Certainty in Times of Uncertainty) Day 4 - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

From Certainty In Times of Uncertainty by Dave Villa Things don’t always go according to our plans, but they will always adhere to the plans of the Lord. Life, however, is not lived without any bumps in the road. Failure is not found within these bumps, it is found when we allow these bumps to stop us in our tracks. Don’t become so discouraged in the delays that you give up on the pursuit of your purpose. We cannot control what happens to us, we can only control our response to it. Pastor Charles R. Swindoll once said that life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you react to it. Your mindset is a powerful thing. I believe that people who are successful aren’t successful because they are more talented or even more skilled. Successful people are successful because they have a mindset for success even during failure. “This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.” Psalm 18:30 ESV We must trust the process, even when the journey gets rocky. God is developing you for the plan that He has created for you to live out. God puts us through what I call “stretching seasons” to prepare us mentally for the destination that we are heading towards. “ Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”” Hosea 6:3 ESV Having certainty in times of uncertainty does not mean turning a blind eye to what’s going on around you. It doesn’t mean that you won’t have feelings of fear, we’re only human. It means that we, as followers of Christ, choose to have faith among the fear and negativity that may surround us. It means that even with fear in our minds, we know that the Lord will provide us with whatever we need to carry on. In times of uncertainty, your Bible is certain. God is sure. Jesus has made his mind up. You see, we may live in a limited world but we serve a limitless God.

Fear of the Future (Certainty in Times of Uncertainty) Day 3 - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

From Certainty In Times of Uncertainty by Dave Villa We cannot always be certain of what is going to happen. There is no telling what the future will bring to anyone. We can make educated guesses. We can make assumptions. We can try to notice patterns and figure it out, but no one knows what tomorrow will bring. All we have is today. And today is enough. “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. ” 1 Peter 5:7 ESV You have survived every bad day so far. Every circumstance and setback. You are undefeated. You’ve seen seemingly insurmountable situations before, and you have faced terrifying opponents who seemed to have the advantage, and yet you have come out the victor. In times of uncertainty, we choose to be certain. We have certainty not in our circumstances and situations but in our God, who provides for and protects us. Certainty – Firm conviction that something is the case. The quality of being reliably true. A fact that is definitely true or an event that is definitely going to take place. Uncertainty – The state of being uncertain. Something that is uncertain or that causes one to feel uncertain. Uncertainty says, “I don’t know what my future holds.” Certainty says, “I know who holds my future!” To be without Christ is to be without peace. To be uncertain. Every person has a conscience within them, which must be satisfied before they can truly be happy. There is only one thing that can give peace to the conscience, and that is being in the right relationship with God. Fight for what matters most to you. Fight for your faith. Fight for your family. Fight for your life. Don’t allow negativity and uncertainty to take up room in your mind. God is STILL in the blessing business. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 ESV It’s time that we evict uncertainty and make way for certainty. Negativity has overstayed it’s welcome and positivity is moving back in! We need to introduce an uncertain world to a certain Jesus.

Fact or Fiction (Certainty in Times of Uncertainty) Day 2 - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

From Certainty In Times of Uncertainty by Dave Villa In the digital age, information is provided to us faster than ever. You can Google anything you’d like, and you could read about that topic for weeks. With the click of your mouse, or the tap of your finger, you can learn all that you need to know about anything. While this should be a positive aspect of the time we live in, it isn’t always. With an abundance of information comes an abundance of misinformation. News that has been so sensationalized that we can no longer tell what’s real and what isn’t. The line between fact and opinion has been blurred by journalists and news stations who aren’t seeking the truth like you and I. They’re seeking ratings. When people are fearful, they will turn on the news. They want to either be comforted or informed on that which they are afraid of. Yet, too often do we take the word of man for fact. We read and listen and assume that whatever has been written or told to us is real, never thinking that the sources we are checking may also be misinformed. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. ” John 14:27 ESV The only TRUTH that we know is that Jesus Christ died for our sins. The only truth that we know has been fact-checked, cited, and sourced, is that God will be there for the start and the finish. For the open and the close. He is the author and the editor, and his word is final. There is nothing to sensationalize. There is no truth which God has not yet uncovered. I’m not telling you to stop reading the news. To stop trusting those around you. What I am telling you is that regardless of what has been written, regardless of what has been reported, God already knows. God’s plans for you do not change because of the actions of men. God’s plans are unwavering, and not contingent on what is going on around us. “When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.” Psalm 94:19 ESV In times of uncertainty, God is certain. While our plans may fall through and change, the plan that the Lord has in store for us will be carried out.

The Plague of Negativity (Certainty in Times of Uncertainty) Day 1 - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

From Certainly in Times of Uncertainty by Dave Villa Every day, people all over the world turn their tv on and watch the news. Global events are discussed on nearly every channel. Negativity is all over the internet. Magazines and Newspapers, while not as popular as they once were, are still found in abundance. And the fear and negativity is still found in abundance, as well. You can’t avoid it. It’s in our faces 24/7. Negativity is a plague. But what do we do? We turn up the volume. We click on the link. We flip to the next page. And we allow this negativity to permeate our minds. We worry about whatever ongoing war there is, whatever new disease is being spread, whatever the stock markets are doing. Why do we do this? What is our fascination with this type of information? We are fearful. It is no secret that there is a large amount of darkness in this world, ready to pull those willing to listen under its grasp. But there is also a lot of light. And, where there is light, darkness cannot prevail. “fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10 ESV The light that has always shined on me in my darkest times has been the word of God. Because regardless of what situation you find yourself in, the Bible will walk you through the steps in order to get through it. Financial crisis, issues in your marriage or relationship, problems at work, at school, global catastrophes, they pale in comparison to the Lord, and to eternity. Your Bible is your source of never-ending light. Even in the darkest of rooms, when a lamp is turned on, the light drives that darkness away. Even in the face of adversity, amidst tragedies and uncertainties, the light that the Lord shines on us still triumphs. There is nothing greater. There is nothing brighter. “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3 ESV Amidst darkness, I choose to reach out towards the light. To allow it to shine on my spirit and to lead the way to better days.
