Kicking off Older
Americans Month
During
Older Americans Month, we recognize and celebrate those Americans who have
spent decades providing for the next generation and building the greatness
of our Nation. Our country and our communities are strong today because of
the care and dedication of our elders. Their unique perspectives and
experiences have endowed us with valuable wisdom and guidance, and we
commit to learning from them and ensuring their safety and comfort.
Older Americans play critical roles in helping support their
adult children, grandchildren, and extended families. They work and
volunteer for businesses and organizations that drive our economy and serve
our communities. Most importantly, our senior citizens mentor future generations
and instill core American values in them. Their guidance preserves our
heritage and the invaluable lessons of the past.

Americans Month and don't forget to use and follow #OAM18
