Veterans Day Memories: Large Print Conversation Cards for Senior Living and Memory Care

Honor Veterans Day with stories, one card at a time.

Veterans Day Memories is a set of 60 large print conversation cards for senior living, assisted living and memory care. Each card has one friendly question and a "Try asking" follow up, so it is easy to get a story started and keep it going. The cards focus on people, food, letters and home, not on combat or hard times. Veterans, family members and neighbors who supported the home front can all join in. There are no right or wrong answers.
