Veterans Day Has No Apostrophe

Veterans Day has no apostrophe, but it sure has a lot of restaurants offering free or discounted meals to veterans and active duty military personnel.

Carrabba’s is giving away a free calamari. Sonny’s BBQ is giving away a pork sandwich, “free BBQ for the brave.” At Texas de Brazil, veterans receive a 50 percent discount. Contrary to what you might think about my opinion of these military discounts, the ability of a business to offer them is actually a good thing, as I pointed out here.
