Veterans Week, San Diego-Style!

Hurray to all Chinese-American veterans! November 11 marks the celebration of Veterans Day. I’m seriously thinking about dressing up my daughter in a chinese girl's dress just to mark the occasion.

Anyways, here’s something for all our friends in San Diego:

Be sure to catch the fun with the family as you become part of this year’s celebration of Veterans Day in downtown San Diego. As the city pays tributes to distinguished veterans, lots of activities are lined up for this special event.
