Are banks open? Is the stock exchange closed? USPS mail?

by Junna Base November 11, 2024

Monday is Veterans Day, a federal holiday with roots dating back to the end of World War I. An armistice between the Allied nations and Germany officially began on November 11, 1918 – the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Every year on Nov. 11, the U.S. honors its veterans for their “patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good,” the VA said on its official website declaring Veterans Day.

Some stores and other services may be closed due to the federal holiday. This is what Hoosiers should know.
