So you also believe that mail should be delivered on all the major national holidays too? I mean showing respect for people who have fought for our country (Memorial Day) has nothing to do with the mail. Neither does the day we got our independence. Thanksgiving has nothing to do with mail and Christmas certainly doesn't either.
Come to think of it, nothing we do as a society has anything to do with showing respect for someone. Next time they ask for a moment of silence before a game, we should all scream. We should take a leak during the national anthem. I can go on and on with things that can be an inconvenience to our society that we do out of respect.
The USPS is part of our government, when federal offices are closed, they typically do the same.
