Does the mail run on 9/11

On September 11, 2001, the United States Postal Service (USPS) did not operate on a regular schedule due to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.

The USPS suspended mail delivery and processing operations on September 11, 2001, as a precautionary measure and to allow employees to focus on supporting the emergency response efforts. This decision was made in consultation with federal, state, and local authorities.

However, the USPS did continue to provide essential services, such as delivering mail and packages to hospitals, emergency response centers, and other critical facilities. Additionally, the USPS played a key role in supporting the relief efforts by transporting donations, supplies, and other materials to affected areas.

It's worth noting that the USPS has a long history of adapting to extraordinary circumstances, including natural disasters, national emergencies, and other crises. In the aftermath of 9/11, the USPS worked closely with other federal agencies, state and local governments, and the private sector to support the recovery efforts and ensure the continuity of mail and package delivery services.
