Father’s Day A day to honor one’s father and all men who act as father figures, it is observed on the third Sunday in June according to a presidential proclamation signed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966. Father’s Day was first proposed in 1901 by a Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington who wanted to honor her father who had been left a widower and had raised six children. The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. Around that time in cities and towns across American other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day." In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. |
