In
1910 the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington, in the US
and celebrating the day became increasingly popular over the years. However, it
was not declared a national holiday until Lyndon Johnson signed a Presidential
Proclamation in 1966 setting the 3rd Sunday of June as Father’s
Day. The woman who started it all was Mrs. John B. Dodd. She wanted to honor her
father who had raised his children as a single parent after he was widowed when
his wife died in childbirth with their sixth child. After becoming an adult and
beginning to raise her own family, Mrs. Dodd began to fully realize all that her
father had sacrificed for his family.

In
America children often make things like cards or bookmarkers and such at school
as gifts for father, but perhaps the most common gift is a necktie. There are
millions of fathers who wear a new tie to work the day after Father’s Day.
Often these neckties are chosen by their children, which means the design may
not be exactly what father himself likes. However, most fathers are more than
happy to be seen at least this one day in that precious tie as it represents
their children’s gratitude and love. Happy Father’s Day!
