Happy Father's Day
.
.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dedicated fathers who love and care for their children. Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June each year and was first celebrated in 1908 by a West Virginia church honoring the memory of men who had died in mining accidents months prior. In 1910, a Spokane woman named Sonora Smart Dodd sought an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. Sonora Smart Dodd wanted to honor her Civil War veteran and widower father for raising her and her siblings as a single parent. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge encouraged state governments to observe Father’s Day. In 1972, Father’s Day finally became a nationally recognized holiday. The celebration of Father’s Day is a dedication to honoring fathers who do their best to provide opportunities and care for their children. Fathers play an important role in the lives of children by being a solid foundation upon which the child can rely and bringing cherished moments and memories that the child will remember. We should all take time to reflect upon our fathers’ and recognize their sacrifice to provide for our standard of living. We encourage everyone to reach out to their father and wish them a “Happy Father’s Day”.
