Father’s Day

Father’s Day honoring fathers s celebrated in
many countries around the world. It originated
in the United States and was originally the idea
of Sonora Smart Dodd. Dodd’s father, a Civil
War veteran, raised her and her five siblings
after their mother died in childbirth. The first
Father’s Day was held on June 19, 1910, the
month of the birthday of Dodd’s father. It
became a U.S. national holiday in 1972, when
Pres. Richard Nixon signed legislation
designating the third Sunday of June as Father’s

Day.

Don’t forget to call or visit your Father if you are
blessed to still have him with you!
