A REMINDER FROM THE RETRO BLOG ~
Congress passed the legislation proclaiming the first Sunday
after Labor Day as National Grandparents’ Day in the U.S.
and, on August 3, 1978, then-President Jimmy Carter (below)
signed the proclamation.
The flower of the U.S. National Grandparents Day
is the forget-me-not which blooms in the spring.
The seasonal flowers are given in appreciation to
grandparents on this day.

FROM THE RETRO BLOG ~
Grandparents’ Day, sometimes known as National Grandparents’
Day, is a national holiday observed in several countries to honor
the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
Celebrated today, the holiday honors the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
In the United States, Grandparents’ Day is observed on the first
Sunday following ‘Labor Day’. This year, it’s being celebrated on September 12. The official site for Grandparents Day states the
theme for each year and for 2021 it is, “How will you look at
connecting generations differently this Grandparents Day?”
The organization behind this campaign urges people to hold
grand intergenerational activism projects. On the occasion,
people have been sharing their feelings towards their
grandparents on social media.
