It’s Monday, May 31, and while we are preparing to take on a new week and ring in June, it is Memorial Day 2021 so we must also take some time to thank the men and women who sacrificed their lives for the country.
Memorial Day is one of the 11 federal holidays in the United States and our first since Washington’s Birthday on Monday, February 15. The next federal holiday will be Independence Day which will be observed on Monday, July 5 for employees.
But what does that mean for some of our everyday activities like heading to the store or dropping off mail at the post office?
On federal holidays, a number of services are closed — like banks and most government offices — there will also be parades across the country celebrating our veterans. Depending on where you are, there is a chance that Memorial Day could mean school is closed down for the day. And then, there are the mail services.
With Memorial Day being a federal holiday, will there be mail service? Here is what we know.
Is There Mail Delivered on Memorial Day?
No, the United States Postal Service will not deliver mail on Memorial Day. FedEx and UPS also will not be delivering packages, except for UPS Express Critical and FedEx Custom Critical.
What Are the Other Federal Holidays?
