On this Veterans Day, you may be wondering if the correct spelling is
"Veterans Day," or "Veteran's Day," or maybe even "Veterans' Day." This
FAQ from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will answer that
question for you, and many others:
http://www.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetday_faq.asp
It
explains why some schools close and others don't, why Veterans Day
doesn't always fall on a Monday like most Federal holidays, and why
poppies are more closely associated with Memorial Day than Veterans
Day. It even provides links to posters and Teacher's Guides that can be
downloaded. As the site says, "Veterans Day is largely intended to
thank LIVING veterans for their service." So, many thanks to all who
served and all who are serving now!
