FATHER'S DAY falls on the third Sunday in June of every year. Sonora Donald of Washington, was the first person to have idea to create a day to celebrate Father's Day while she listened to a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. *

Sonora wanted a special day to honor her Dad, William Smart... Smart a Civil War veteran, was widowed after his wife died during the birth of their six child. Mr Smart was left to raise the new born and his 5 other children on a rural farm in Washington. *

As Sonora grew up, she became more aware of the selflessness her Father had shown in raising herself and her other 5 siblings as a single parent. It was only her Father that made all the parental sacrifices during her childhood and he was in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous and loving man. *

Sonora's father was born in June, so she decided the first FATHER'S DAY celebration in Spokane, Washington should be on 19th of June 1910. President Calvin Coolidge supported Father's Day to be national holiday in 1924. However,it was not until 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June to be Father's Day. *

President Richard Nixon ended up signing the Law which finally made it permanent in 1972. *
