While this day means many Americans get off work, it could impact your regular mail schedule. The United States Post Office will be closed for the holidays, so Americans are encouraged to plan ahead to get their mail and packages shipped on time.

Some schools will remain open on Veterans Day, but exact dates may vary depending on where you visit. It varies by district.

Why is Veterans Day celebrated on November 11th?

Veterans Day has been a holiday since 1918, when both sides fighting in World War I signed an armistice. The holiday is different from Memorial Day, which honors those who lost their lives while serving in the military.

The holiday was originally known as Armistice Day and is intended to commemorate the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. This was the official point at which both sides in the First World War concluded an armistice.

In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower changed the name “Armistice Day” to “Veterans Day.”

Why do we celebrate Veterans Day?

Veterans Day is a way to celebrate all Americans who serve in the U.S. military.

Although it has been 70 years since Armistice Day became Veterans Day, it serves as a reminder of the pride and sacrifice that members of the military make every day.

Because it is a federal holiday, many government offices and schools will be closed, in addition to your regular mail from the United States Post Office.
