What is Grandparents Day? It is a day to honor grandparents. In the proclamation signed by President Carter it states: Grandparents are our continuing tie to the near-past, to the events and beliefs and experiences that so strongly affect our lives and the world around us. Whether they are our own or surrogate grandparents who fill some of the gaps in our mobile society, our senior generation also provides our society a link to our national heritage and traditions. 

 

You can read the full proclamation here.  

 

So please remember all those amazing grandparents out there and do something fun to show them how much they mean to us!
