oops,

11/11 is a memorial day for you guys?
For us it's the start of the 'carnaval' season (fun, music, beer, laughter etc).
So I apologize, I thought that this was the occasion the OP was referring too (hence my now strange looking reply).

At 11:00 o'clock on the morning of November 11, 1918 the armistice was signed ending the fighting of the First World War. Most European nations refer to it as 'Armistice Day'. Here in the United States we long ago changed the meaning to honor all veterans, so here it's 'Veterans Day'

Where are you at?

[edit] Of course this year it's on a Sunday, so I can't get to where all the free meals are.
