Veterans Day came to be when WW1 ended, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918. At first Veterans Day was called Armstice Day. This day was reserved to acknowledge the courage and the patriotism of the United States who have fought for our country. It wasn't until May 13, 1938 that the law was adopted to make Armstice Day a federal and national holiday for November 11th of each year. Then in June 6 of 1954 Congress changed the named Armstice Day to Veterans Day to honor all of mthe United States.

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."
