This year, Veterans Day falls on Monday, November 11.

The annual holiday is set aside each year to honor U.S. veterans for their service to the nation and the day is often marked by parades and ceremonies to commemorate the occasion.

In addition to being recognized by fellow Americans, veterans are also recognized on November 11 with special discounts at many restaurants and businesses.

If you have the November holidays off, you may plan to catch up on a few errands, such as delivering or picking up packages or other USPS matters.

Then you might be wondering if the post office is open on Veterans Day.

Since November 11 is a federal holiday, this is a reasonable question since most schools, banks, and even the U.S. stock market are all closed on Mondays.

But what about the USPS and other shipping services like UPS and FedEx? Will things be back to normal on Monday, November 11?

Whether you need to send something or are waiting for an important letter or package, here’s what you need to know about USPS hours on Veterans Day this year.
