Did you know that National Senior Citizens Day is celebrated on August 21st?

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan declared this holiday to honor seniors.  “Throughout our history, older people have achieved much for our families, our communities and our country…..For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute.”

Each year on August 21st, there are various events and activities held across the United States in honor of National Senior Citizens Day.  This day was created as a day to support, honor and show appreciation to our seniors and to recognize their achievements.
