(Meredith) -- In honor of former President George H.W. Bush's funeral, the U.S. Postal Service says regular mail deliveries will be suspended on Wednesday.
The Postal Service will continue some delivery services in preparation for the holiday season.
"We will provide limited package delivery service on that day to ensure that our network remains fluid and we do not experience any impacts to our package delivery operations that might negatively affect our customers or business partners during the remainder of our busy holiday season, " the Postal Service said in a statement.

I just stuff it all back in the outgoing slot
The home mail deliveries would be out of business if it it didn’t have ALL THOSE CATALOGUES!!!!
This has been done for other presidents;
********
Yep nothing new but does make for a good read thread.
Only a government agency would do this at a time like this. It's a media/establishment love-fest for Bush, produced and directed by the leftist media/deep state posers to make sure everyone knows this honorable, nice, decent man was supportive of their globalist, new world order dream.
I guess the ‘Deep State’ was thinking the same thing, when they shut down the government to honor Ronald Reagan:

It certainly does illuminate those whose egocentric grudges outweigh their knowledge of history.
In honor of President George H.W. Bush, the USPS will make sure your Victoria's Secret catalog gets to you on time.

Neither wind, nor rain, nor snow, nor gloom of night,
but maybe thousand points of light,
will slow the mail.
What nonsense.
Last time I was in a USPS facility I noted everyone there should have been fired for piss poor, downright offense customer service.
... or you can put it in a mail box.
When I got out of school, I worked there at Christmas a couple of years. Loved it. Yes, there are a lot of slackers ... especially at the main branches ... like downtown LA.
But, a lot of exercise delivering door to door, met a lot of nice people. It was nice all the way around.
Millions. Its actually millions of government workers.
You’re conflating a general principle with an unusual circumstance and a federally directed accommodation of same.
(They still don’t deliver general mail on Sunday, as far as I’ve seen...)
Gee thanks mr. new world order.
And what has the mail got to do with a president dying? It seems they're suggesting the USPS is not really important, critical or needed.
Btw, will the postal workers be paid for not working?
As I understand the policy, they will be paid or receive compensatory time.
It seems to me a very materialistic way of looking at life to disparage entirely the importance of symbol/ritual, and the ideals that underlie them, in our collective national life. Many would say that our ideals are really all we’ve got left.
But if all you care about is money, well...
Every other business in business does it that way, otherwise they don't stay in business.
So these government employees are not going to deliver mail but they’ll get paid anyway? And you support this?
Paid day off?
And the rest of us will manage to put in a full day of work because we’re not special.
