For us it is Veteran's day first and foremost and it's a day of memories for my daughter, son, and I. We spend the day together as a family and remember my DH and his service but also remember him as a wonderful dad and husband. Cheyanne never got to know him as she was 2 when he died, so we try to bring our memories alive. She always has a list of questions about him that she asks - funny things, serious things. We'll also be having lunch at the VA Hospital. The fact that it's 11-11-11 is kind of "neat" but if there are photos, it will be incidental that they are taken on 11-11-11.
