What is National Senior Citizens Day?
President Ronald Regan created National Senior Citizens Day more than three decades ago. He signed Proclamation 5847, and designated August 21 as a day to celebrate older people across our nation.
“For all that, they have achieved throughout their lives and for all that they continue to do, we owe our gratitude and sincere greetings to our senior citizens. We can show our gratitude and appreciation better by making sure our communities are good places. Places where older people can participate as much as possible and find the encouragement, acceptance, support and services they need to continue living a life of independence and dignity.”
President Ronald Reagan
