Since Veterans Day is a federal holiday, the post office will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 11 and the mail will not run. Keep that in mind if you’re expecting a check, important document, have something urgent to mail or simply want to get a jumpstart on sending out your holiday cards.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Stars, stripes and solemn memories filled the streets of Louisville Saturday as the city came together for the annual Veterans Day Parade — an event that carried extra weight this year. While crowds gathered to honor service members, organizers also held a moment of silence for the 14 people who died in last week’s UPS crash.

The United States Postal Service will be pausing its mail service next Tuesday, November 11, but Americans can expect minimal delays to their typical mail schedule. The reason for the one-day pause is due to Veterans Day. As a federal holiday, the USPS suspends most services and will open up the next day, November 12.
