Today, June 18, 2017 is Father’s Day in the United States. On this day, the third Sunday of June, we honor our fathers, all men that are fathers and all men that help in any way with children. Father’s Day had been celebrated for several years, but was not a National Holiday until 1972. Many were afraid of attempts to commercialize the day. However, in 1972 President Richard Nixon signed into law the official National Holiday of Father’s Day, to be celebrated every year on the third Sunday of June.
We, the Colorado Traveling Ducks, wish you all a very Happy Father’s Day.
In Australia, we celebrate Father’s Day in September, but it’s not a holiday.
I did not know that. Amazing how similar and yet how different we do things. Thanks for reading and commenting.
