NATIONAL SENIOR CITIZENS DAY
Each year on August 21, there are various events and activities held across the United States in recognition of National Senior Citizens Day. This day was created as a day to support, honor and show appreciation to our seniors and to recognize their achievements. Their valuable contributions to our communities create better places to live.
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 19, 1988 Proclamation 5847
My first choice will be #20. That's the Pelicans' center fielder and when I played softball I played center field. It was also my number when I played high school football. My second choice is #24, the Pelicans' left fielder. That was Willie Mays' number and he was my favorite baseball player when I was a kid. If I get outbid on both of those, I'll just look for the best player I can find whose jersey has no bids.![[smilie=battingeyes.gif]](./images/smilies/battingeyes.gif "battingeyes"){kind=small}
