August 21 is celebrated in U.S.A. as National Senior Citizens Day. It is the day to let senior citizens know how much you care and it is an opportunity to recognize their accomplishments, because they have spent their lifetime contributing to the society and have impacted everyone’s life for the better.
Improved healthcare has changed demographics and increased productivity of older citizens, allowing them to be more active than ever before.
