Rather than look to the future repetitive dates where we can only speculate what life will be like here by then, we should look back in history where it's a bit easier to guess how things were. We had the year 1111 in which the Crusaders and the Turks fought in the Battle of Shaizar. Possibly there could have been a veterans day on 11-11-1111. Then there was the 11th year, perhaps the Romans were marching upon some other land and there were vets from those wars. There could have been a vets day in honor of those brave soldiers on 11-11-11 (no, not 11-11-2011). But the greatest day of them all to remember, should still be, 1-1-1. We have to assume that the current calendar started on that day, since it really wasn't invented for quite a few centuries after that.

Yes, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a vets day in those years, but there could have been and they could have occurred on those dates.
