The sign says VETERAN’S MEMORIAL FLAGPOLE Would it be too irreverent (or irrelevant) of me to point out that that's the possessive of a singular, that it's a memorial to more than one veteran, and that it should be VETERANS’ MEMORIAL FLAGPOLE with the apostrophe after the S ?

Yes, I know: I'm a hopeless pedant.
Or they could have done it the way I did it and leave out the apostrophe.
