Post offices around the country will be closed and there will be no home delivery on Thursday as the US Postal Service holds a national day of observance to honor former President Jimmy Carter, who died Dec. 29 at age 100.
The Postal Service will suspend regular mail delivery, retail services and office activity. There will be limited package delivery service Thursday to ensure the organization does not experience any negative impacts to its package delivery operations.
Additionally, USPS facilities are required to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff through sunset Wednesday, Jan. 29, to honor Carter.
