"(CNN) Veterans Day, which commemorates all those who serve in the US military, has been a federal holiday since 1954 and has been observed in some form for over a century it originally commemorated the end of World War I. Because the day is a federal holiday, many government offices are closed, though some were already affected by the government shutdown. Here's what's open or closed this Veterans Day:"
"Government offices Veterans Day is a state-level holiday in almost every part of the country (Wisconsin is an exception), so your local DMV and public schools will most likely be closed for the day. Many cities will also pause trash and recycling pickup today, but this varies across the country. Post offices won't be open either, and the US Postal Service won't deliver regular mail. UPS and FedEx will be open, but customers should expect modified service due to the holiday."
Veterans Day commemorates all who serve in the US military and has been a federal holiday since 1954. Federal recognition causes many government offices to close, and some services were already affected by the government shutdown. Major retailers and quick-service restaurants generally remain open, and some restaurants offer free or discounted meals to veterans. State-level observance typically closes local DMVs and public schools, and trash or recycling pickup may be paused in many cities. The US Postal Service does not deliver regular mail, while UPS, FedEx, and Amazon operate with modified service. Most retail banks and the Federal Reserve close, but stock exchanges and national parks remain open, though some park services may be limited.
