Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States, and most government offices close. Many banks and post offices also close, while many retailers, restaurants, and privately run businesses typically stay open, though hours can vary by location. U.S. stock markets usually remain open for trading, but the bond market and some banks may be closed. National parks generally stay open, though some services inside them can be affected. Always check your local location for specific hours, especially for post offices, banks, and government offices.
