For the Ross family, the <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fireport.cnn.com%2Fdocs%2FDOC-798437">most memorable Father's Day</a> was when Chuck Ross saved his son's life after he was run over by a car. Kathi Ross says her husband's police training saved their son's life. He used to be a homebuilder until losing his job in the recession. Had he still been a homebuilder, he wouldn't have had the training to handle the situation, she says.

With Father's Day approaching, Carla Hurst-Chandler and her boys can't help but think back to that special Father's Day when they gave her husband the gift of a lifetime: an <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fireport.cnn.com%2Fdocs%2FDOC-800980">antique Guild guitar</a> that they saved for weeks to buy. It also reminds them of how much they miss him. "We shared more love and adventures together (the five of us) in 18 years than many people are lucky enough to have in a lifetime," says Hurst-Chandler.

Kimberly Brewer, daughter of a Korean and Vietnam War veteran, says <a href="index.php?page=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fireport.cnn.com%2Fdocs%2FDOC-801862">a few memories of her father stand out</a>: her wedding day, when he walked her down the aisle even though his deteriorating health made it difficult for him to walk; sitting with him at the table as he studied for his associates degree when he decided to go to college late in life. His lasting impression on her has been inspiring her career in the military and passion for Nissan cars -- she just bought a Maxima last week.
