The mail will not go through this Thursday and here’s why.
President Joe Biden has declared the day a National Day of Mourning to honor the life and legacy of Jimmy Carter, who passed away on December 29, at the age of 100.
The day of Mourning on Thursday, January 9, coincides with President Carter’s funeral at Washington National Cathedral. To mark this solemn occasion, American flags at federal buildings, military bases, and U.S. embassies will fly at half-staff for 30 days.
All Post Offices will be closed, and mail delivery will be suspended for the day Thursday.
It’s not just the post office. President Biden’s executive order also closes all federal government departments and agencies, except those critical to national security, defense, or other essential needs. Here are some other closures to keep in mind:
National Parks: Open, but administrative offices will be closed.
Stock Market: The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will pause trading.
Federal Courts: Including the United States Supreme Court and the Library of Congress.
