Background
Some people celebrate Senior Citizens Day on August 14 as it was the day past US president Franklin Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935. However, in 1988 Ronald Reagan, who was the US president at the time, declared the third Sunday of August to be National Senior Citizens Day. The day was also created to bring awareness of social, health, and economic issues that affect senior citizens.
