A resolution designating May 2024 as "Older Americans Month".
This resolution designates May 2024 as "Older Americans Month" through a ceremonial Senate action. It does not create new laws or alter existing programs, but rather formally recognizes the contributions and importance of older adults in the U.S. The resolution encourages the public to honor older individuals' achievements, share their wisdom with younger generations, and acknowledge their role as community assets. This designation aligns with the longstanding tradition started by President Kennedy in 1963, which has been observed annually since 1965.
