Veterans Day 2024 falls on Monday, November 11. While we honor those who have served in the US military, some Americans have a day off to run errands such as sending letters and packages. But is the post office open today? Some widely recognized celebrations are not considered federal holidays, and USPS customers want to know if their local post office is closed on this day.
The holiday is dedicated to all veterans who have served or are currently serving in the US military. New York marks this day with an annual parade.
President Joe Biden issued a statement on November 11, 2024, saying: «Today we honor generations of American veterans — patriots who stood on the front lines of freedom and upheld the bright light of liberty around the world. Just as they believed in our nation, we must believe in them».
«In recognition and appreciation of the contributions of our veterans and their families, caregivers, and survivors to the cause of peace and freedom around the world, Congress has provided (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) that November 11 of each year should be established as a legal holiday to honor our national veterans», - the president’s statement continued.
