Senior Citizens Day

Issued in 1988, Proclamation 5847 declared today National Senior Citizens Day. Today we are encouraged to honor the elderly population and recognize the contributions they make to home, family and society. Show your appreciation by spending time with senior citizens. Better yet, volunteer in support of the elderly. Celebrate National Senior Citizens Day by reading at a retirement community, delivering meals, or simply listening to stories of the past. If you are a senior citizen, enjoy your day. Take advantage of the many discounts and thanks you’ll receive. There’s bound to be plenty, all of which are greatly deserved.
