According to the 2017 census, 47 million seniors live in the United States. By 2060, that number will nearly double. Their wealth of knowledge, skill, and experience offer so much to the next generation. As technologies advance, these are the people who've experienced each step of change. Not only have they contributed to it, but they understand first hand the benefits and the drawbacks. They know life without the advancements that exist today. National Senior Citizens Day arrives every August 21, dedicated to recognizing the profound impact of older adults on our society. Take time to celebrate their wisdom, experience, and ongoing contributions to family, community, and the workforce. Show your appreciation by spending quality time, offering assistance, or advocating for senior well-being.
