Veteran's Day was originally named "Armistice Day", observing the end of WWI, when the Armistice was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month ending WWI. Eventually, the holiday was renamed "Veterans' Day, in order to honor the sacrifice made by all veterans of all wars.

Why are the no apostrophe around the word Veterans for Veterans Day?

The term "Veterans Day" is spelled without an apostrophe to indicate that the day is a day for honoring all veterans, not just one specific veteran or a possession or attribute belonging to veterans. The absence of the apostrophe sets it apart from possessive forms like "Veteran's Day" or "Veterans' Day."
