TRIVIA TIDBITS
Father’s Day, when fathers are honored by their children, was first observed in 1908 to complement Mother’s Day. After a sporadic history, President Lyndon Johnson issued a proclamation in 1966 designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. In 1972, President Richard Nixon made it a permanent national holiday when he signed it into law.
We wish all our dads a very happy Father’s Day!
