Q. Which is the correct spelling of this November 11 observance?
(a) "Veteran's Day"A. Veterans Day does not include an apostrophe but does include an "s" at the end of "veterans." It is not a day that "belongs" to veterans, it is a day for honoring all veterans. The correct answer is (c).
(b) "Veterans' Day"
(c) "Veterans Day"

Thanks for the clarification about that. Honestly, I think I've always used that apostrophe and never given it much thought before.
