Is the post office open on Memorial Day?

No — there's no mail delivery on Memorial Day.
Memorial Day (the last Monday in May) is a federal holiday, so USPS closes: no routes, no window service, no collection pickups. It's one of the most completely observed days on the calendar — banks, federal offices, and the markets are all out too.
Because it always lands on a Monday, Saturday delivery runs as usual and mail picks up again Tuesday. Anything dropped in a collection box over the long weekend leaves with Tuesday's pickup.
