"Throughout our history, older people

have achieved much for our families,

our communities, and our country. That

remains true today, and gives us ample

reason this year to reserve a special day

in honor of the senior citizens who

mean so much to our land. For all they

have achieved throughout life and for

all they continue to accomplish, we owe

older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude

and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature

and grow older -- places in which older people can participate to the fullest and can

find the encouragement, acceptance, assistance, and services they need to continue to

lead lives of independence and dignity." -President Ronald Reagan

August 21st is National

Senior Citizens day!
