When is National Senior Citizen Day
National Senior Citizen Day is August 21st, and former president Ronald Reagan is typically credited for the day being declared a national holiday, in 1988.
In truth, the day actually has deeper roots, that go back all the way back to president Franklin Roosevelt, when he signed the Social Security Act in 1935.
Date of origin aside, there’s no disputing the reason why the National Senior Citizen Day of observance was established. The purpose was to honor elderly U.S. citizens who made positive contributions in their various communities.
The day is generally a work day, so don’t expect your place of business to be closed, or you to be off work. Most U.S. businesses operate during their regular business hours on this special day.
