Veterans Day is a well-known American holiday, but there are also a few misconceptions about it — like how it’s spelled or whom exactly it celebrates. To clear some of that up, here are the important facts you should know.
Veterans Day does NOT have an apostrophe.
A lot of people think it’s “Veteran’s Day” or “Veterans’ Day,” but they’re wrong. The holiday is not a day that “belongs” to one veteran or multiple veterans, which is what an apostrophe implies. It’s a day for honoring all veterans — so no apostrophe needed.
Veterans Day is NOT the Same as Memorial Day.
A lot of Americans get this confused, and we’ll be honest — it can be a little annoying to all of the living veterans out there.

Very good information. Thank you. And thank you to all veterans. Thank you for your service.
If you thank a vet today, think about how your actions are worthy of their sacrifice - I say this as I thanked a vet yesterday after church, and his reply surprised me - He simply said, "You were wort it"
What's the best reply when someone says thank you for your service or just thank you to you on Veterans Day ?

You're welcome.
Dear TheR
ealRay -
This depends - I like the "You were worth it" quote from above, but I would improve it a bit by simply saying, "Do you think you are worth it."
