Ronald Reagan declared one..http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archive...88/081988b.htm 21 years ago.

Why the major calendar companies don't put it on calendars ...who knows. The dot com, Holiday Insights has them all listed on its website.

Personally I look for calendars that don't have all the holidays/celebrations days on them. I only use calendars for notes and personal organization.

Kimmie, the best bet would be contacting the major calendar manufacturers with the reference to Ronald Reagan's declaration and ask them to consider including it.

i don't think we value our senior citizens as much as we could in this country.
it would be nice if seniors could be better respected.
it would be nice if all of us would understand to respect each other better than we do now.

:so ture are you but mr reagan made his for aug, but this was not proclaimed.but john kenny made one befor him this is for may and this was proclaimed. That is why i do not understand why never went on wall calendar. Sad very sad. But ,they did not forget groundhog day . Thank you god bless kim

mr regan sure did but it was not proclaimed. Now john kenny god rest both there souls. Made one also his was procailmed his is in may and reagan was in aug. It has to be procailmed to do any thing witch kennys was . But the seniors never made it to wall calendar. But groundhog day did. Thank you for your input god bless kim

also the gov has to aprove it befor it can go on. People just can put what they what too. I have been going through alot of red tape but it is all worth it . Thanks again

I voted no, we have enough days to remember. Here in Florida, every day is National Senior Citizens day.

Monday.....20% off any purchase at Sears

Tuesday....30% off any purchase at Kohls

Wednesday..Free coffee and donut at Duncan Donuts

Thursday...30% off any purchase at Walmart

Friday.....Half off all early bird meals at various restaurants

Saturday...Free something with a purchase at various retailers

Sunday.....Free golf cart rental at some golf courses.

That and many, many more stuff if your 55 and older. And if your 55 and older, it seems you can get a free handicapped placard for your car, with no questions asked. All this and they still complain. Maybe we should have a National Baby Boomer day, or maybe there already is one.

I prefer to just sit down with a senior citizen and talk about how things used to be. They have some very interesting stories and experiences to share. They really do not need a special day set aside for them.

So in Florida if everyday you get something for being a senior citizen, making a special day for them would be useless IMHO. That would be like having a B-Day everyday.

In 2 years I'll be 55, I'm moving to Florida. Look for me jmiller!! I already got a handicapped parking plaque!!

I do too, and I do it. They do have some very interesting stories and I'm always willing to listen Hope somebody will listen to my stories

Sorry you feel that way. i resecpt what you say. but if it wasnt for seniors we would not be able to sit around and talk about the good old days it was them that gave us the good old days god bless kim

HI , THIS IS KIM .ALL I CAN SAY ALL IT IS WOULD BE RESECPT. I MEANE I THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN GROUNDHOG DAY. JUST THINK ADAM AND EVE WAS ARE SENIORS THEY ARE THE ONES WHOM STARTED ARE SENIORS. IF IT WASNT GOD AND THEM WE WOULD NOT BE HEARE GOD BLESS KIM THANK YOU.
