EDISON, NJ— As part of the Postal Service’s Veterans Day observance, Post Offices will be closed and only Priority Mail Express will be delivered on Monday, November 11. Normal mail delivery, collections, and retail services will resume on Tuesday, November 12. 

Veterans Day holds special significance for the Postal Service since the agency is one of the nation’s largest employers of military veterans. Of the nationwide postal workforce of 640,000, approximately 100,000 postal employees, including 717 in Northern New Jersey, have served in the armed forces.

Post Offices may be closed on Veterans Day but online job applications are still being accepted for vacant positions on the federal holiday. New Jersey postal officials are encouraging veterans to apply for current job openings in Morris, Hudson, Monmouth, and Burlington Counties.
