Thursday is a Federal Holiday

 

It's in honor of the Late President Jimmy Carter, who died this week.

Federal offices will be closed, regular mail service will be canceled.

President Biden honored him:

“With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us. He saved, lifted, and changed the lives of people all across the globe,” Biden said. “He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism. We will always cherish seeing him and Rosalynn together. The love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism.”

Federal offices are closed and USPS will close on that day as well. Mail won’t be delivered on Thursday due to the holiday. Service will resume on Friday, Jan. 10.

UPS and FedEX pickup and delivery services and UPS Stores and FedEx Office will be open.

Carter will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. Thursday at 10 a.m. All the living presidents have been invited and Biden will deliver a eulogy. The Carter family then will return to bury the former president at a private hometown funeral at 3:45 p.m. at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Ga.
