Today is National Senior Citizens Day
We love our seniors! In 1988, President Reagan proclaimed August 21st National Senior Citizens Day to help recognize their accomplishments and raise awareness about issues that affect their quality of life.
Today’s seniors are still active in their families, communities, and often even their workplaces. Let’s thank them for all they do!
