Because it would sound funny to say "Merry Thanksgiving" or "Jolly 4th of July" or "Funtabulous Valentine's Day." As Americans, our vocabularies tend to be sparse. We pick one word with which we are comfortable (happy) and stick to it. Christmas... I guess that's the exception to the rule. I suppose it's because we've heard it our entire lives.

The correct answer is your second phrase: "Three dogs' bowls".\nThe rule, in this case, is to simply add the apostrophe to the end of any plural noun ending in -s. The conventions for  apostrophe use in English are complicated at times. The first link below should help you out.\n\nThe apostrophe is used to indicate where an historical letter has been removed. In Olde English, 'a dog's bowl' would have been written as 'a doges bowl', but in an effort to tidy up orthographic (writing) conventions, and minimise confusion the E was removed and replaced with an apostrophe.

ATDIHFG\n\nDig Fhat?  That sounds cool to me.\n\nUnless you meant an acronym...then this:\n\nAlthough That Dog Inspected, He Forgot the Grime.\n\nMakes sense with or without the 'the'.

Veterans Day is an American holiday for honoring war veterans. It is celebrated on the same day as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. It is both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states. All major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice. Armistice Day was first commemorated in the United States by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919, and many states made it a legal holiday. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 inviting all Americans to observe the day and made it a legal holiday nationwide in 1938.\n\nThe holiday has been observed annually on November 11 since that date - first as Armistice Day, later as Veterans Day. When holidays in the United States, with the exception of New Year's Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day were moved to Mondays to create long holiday weekends, the celebration was moved to the fourth Monday of October. However, after protests by veterans groups it was moved back to November 11th in an effort to make the holiday more important. Unfortunately for those groups, the result was the opposite. Even though it is a federal and state holiday, it is formally observed in most parts of the United States only by government offices and banks. Most schools and almost all businesses stay open on regular schedules. As a result, most public transit systems are on regular schedules. Most businesses cite the holiday's proximity to Thanksgiving (when many businesses close for a four-day weekend) as the main reason for staying open on Veterans Day; but most schools and businesses also stay open on Columbus Day, a full month earlier.\n\nOn November 11, 1953, the citizens of Emporia, Kansas staged a Veterans Day observance in lieu of an Armistice Day remembrance. Congressman Ed Rees of Emporia, Kansas subsequently introduced legislation in the United States House of Representatives to officially change the name of Armistice Day to Veterans Day [1]. Following a letter-writing campaign to secure the support of all state governors in the observance of this new holiday, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day (enacted June 1, 1954), to honor those who served.\n\nThe day has since evolved as a time for honoring living veterans who have served in the military during wartime or peacetime, partially to complement Memorial Day, which primarily honors the dead. There has been some discussion of whether a person's veteran status depends upon his/her retirement or discharge from any of the armed forces. However, the term applies to any that have honorably served their country or that have served in a war zone as directed by their superior officers or as directed by lawful orders given by their country

Plurals don't need apostrophes. Apostrophes are usually used when you've left something out, like the second "o" in "do not" to make "don't" or in a possessive - as in something belongs to Joe, so it's Joe's. DO NOT use them to make something plural. The plural of hero is heroes (don't forget the extra "e").

I'm sorry I'm replying without answering the question, but please, PLEASE, PLEASEEE never never NEVER put an unnecessary apostrophe in the posessive form of "its." I can see maybe leaving out a necessary apostrophe if you're too lazy, but adding one just demonstrates ignorance, because technically it takes more time to do so. Please don't, for the more sensitive among us. Open a grammar book. It's a tragedy the subject's not taught these days.

"True meaning"?\n\nI get nervous anytime someone even mentions "true meaning". It's usually a sign that we're all about to get preached to.\n\nBut if you'd like to know why we have a holiday called Veteran's Day, you can read about the history of thecommenorative  holiday here:\n\nhttp://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp\n\nAnd you can also check Veteran's Day FAQ here:\n\nhttp://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetday_faq.asp

It really does bother me actually it's really annoying when people put its instead of it's etc, but the spell checker puts the apostrophes in the wrong places too! \n\nIt's = it has, it is      its = every dog has its day  \n\nYes you are correct.
