Neelix created the holiday in response to Captain Kathryn Janeway's disappointment in her ancestor, Shannon O'Donnel. Commander Chakotay commended Neelix on the creation of the holiday, stating that it would be an evening honoring those who had come before. Ensign Harry Kim said that his uncle Jack would have approved. In memoriam of the day, Neelix gave Captain Janeway a framed photo of her ancestor that was taken in 2050. To give Captain Janeway another picture to add to her ready room, The Doctor set up his holo-imager to take a picture of the senior staff. (VOY: "11:59")
