Many veterans, one day

Veterans Day: This is the day the United States honors men and women who have served in the armed forces. If you remember that it honors all veterans, not just one, and if you remember that it is a day for veterans, you can remember that it’s Veterans Day, not Veteran’s Day or Veterans’ Day, as it is so often spelled.

The Department of Veterans (no apostrophe) Affairs has a good primer on Veterans Day.
