Which date should I pick?

The night of the homecoming, at the city where the reunion happened. Some families prefer the day the deployment started as a "we made it through" marker — both work; pick the one that hits harder.

And the time?

Use the actual time if you remember it; homecomings are often late, and a night sky looks full. Otherwise the evening works.

Suggested style: Golden or Noir — strong and warm.

The text underneath

Your title and one line at the bottom, both written by you. For a homecoming gift, something like:

The night you came home · March 8, 2024 · Fort Bragg

How it looks
