An event every year that begins at 12:00 am on day second of September, repeating indefinitely
Grandparents’ Day or National Grandparents’ Day is a secular holiday celebrated second Sunday in September. It is celebrated to show the bond between grandparents and grandchildren.
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 signed the proclamation.[17]
The flower of the U.S. National Grandparents Day is the forget-me-not which blooms in the spring. As a result, seasonal flowers are given in appreciation to grandparents on this day.[18]
