With the exception of banks and government agencies, this is not a widely observed holiday in the U.S. Schools are in session.

actually, many schools ARE closed, as are banks and any gov. office. retail is always open, however, and the NYSE is trading, as is the NASDAQ, while the NY bond market usually has a shortened day of trading.
