In most cases, you don’t say “Happy Veterans Day” when you’re greeting a veteran or writing a Veterans Day message. A veteran in this context is a person who served in active duty (e.g., in Iraq or Vietnam) and who received an honorable discharge. The holiday is for honoring sacrifices rather than festive celebrations.
Instead of “Happy Veterans Day,” say “thank you for your service,” or “I appreciate your sacrifice.”
When you’re writing a Veteran’s Day message, QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker will help you avoid errors.

It is “Veterans Day” (without an apostrophe) because “veteran” is a plural noun in this context. The apostrophe is incorrect because “veteran” is not a possessive noun. The holiday honors all of the veterans (plural). Only use “veteran’s” when you mean “belonging to one veteran”:
- The veteran’s supervisor took her out to lunch on Veterans Day.
