Father's Day E-Card
"Father's Day"
was first proposed by Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, 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 (Mrs. Dodd's mother) 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. At about the
same time in various towns and cities across American other
people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day."
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a
natifonal Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson
signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd 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.
