“Sunday, June 15
is Father's Day!
Father’s Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a
holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact,
when a Father's Day was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards!
Mrs. John B. Dodd of Washington first proposed the idea of a Father's Day
in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart.
William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died in
childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his
other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was
after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness
her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington just one year after the first
Mother's Day. At about the same time in various towns and cities across America, other people were beginning
to celebrate a Father's Day. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day.
Finally in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June
as Father's Day.
Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers,
uncles, grandfathers and adult male friends are all to be honored on Father's Day.
