Father’s Day
Father’s Day is June 21. It was not until 1957 when Maine Sen. Margaret Chase Smith wrote a proposal urging Congress to declare a day to honor fathers after 40 years of only honoring mothers.
In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson issued the first proclamation designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. In 1972, the day was made a permanent national holiday signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon.
Happy Father’s Day to all.
