World Senior Citizens' Day Aug 21, 2023
On August 19, 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed Proclamation 5847 declaring August 21st as National Senior Citizens Day.
Senior citizens are pioneers of science, medicine, psychology, civil rights and so much more. Their valuable contributions to our communities create better places to live. They deserve the respect and dignity their achievements earn them. The day encourages supporting senior citizens to live their lives to the fullest and as independently as possible.
Did you know? According to the Florida Senate's definition (Stat. Section 501.2077), at age 60 we are now considered a senior citizen? I don't feel it- Do you?
Any opportunity to Celebrate- so Embrace it and Celebrate August 21
May your heart be forever young and your days be filled with smiles. Happy World Senior Citizen Day!
