Postal services: Since it's a federal holiday, the United States Postal Service will not deliver regular mail, and most post offices will be closed.

Banks: Often, banks observe the Federal Reserve’s holiday calendar, so many branch locations may be closed or have limited hours.

Retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores: Many will remain open, though hours may vary by location.

It's always good to check ahead, especially when it comes to retail stores, to make sure they are open.

If you are a veteran, thank you for your service, and if there are stores and restaurants running specials for veterans, make sure you take full advantage of those discounts.

I'm appreciative of our veterans; my dad served in the Navy, so I'm pretty dang proud of him.
