Father’s Day is a celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth century to
complement Mothers’ Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting, and to
honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father’s Day is celebrated on
a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving to fathers and
family-oriented activities.
In the United States, the first modern Father’s Day celebration was held on
July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginiaor on June, 19th of the same year, in
the state of Washington.
Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was immediate
and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his family
in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924.
In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Father’s Day a holiday to be celebrated
on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially recognized until
1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by promoting male-oriented
gifts such as electronics, tools and greeting cards. Schools and other children’s
programs commonly have activities to make Father’s Day gifts.(1)

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackHonor the fathers in your life while you have them, not just the third Sunday in June but every chance you get. A simple gesture like sitting down to watch an old TV show with him even is you don’t like Westerns or re-runs of Star Trek will help you feel connected. Ask him about his favorite things: music, authors, books, colors, food. What’s his oldest memory; which memory does he recall most frequently? (Just get to know him.) Go out and build some memories by being together and pass along your example of how to do it to the children in your family. After all, the memories we leave with others are far more important in the overall scheme of life than the personal experiences we take with us can ever be.
I work with the “senior community” and your comment is so true!! Spending a little time with these folks will provide another set of memories for the next generation(s) to “talk” about.
