SO, DOES VETERANS DAY HAVE A FUCKING APOSTROPHE OR WHAT?: ”

Wow. From a Colorado State Parks page describing fall colors and hikes.
Damon suggested that maybe these aren’t apostrophe mistakes at all; perhaps there are three tour guides based in Colorado Springs named Gold’s, Red’s, and Orange’s. In that case, it’s just a capitalization issue. 😉
Another example from Cripple Creek…
