Abraham Lincoln and his son Tad, Father's Day

Abraham Lincoln and his son Tad

Today is Father’s Day! Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June. Mrs. John B. Dodd proposed the idea of Father’s Day in 1910. President Calvin Coolidge approved the holiday in 1924, but it did not become an official Presidential Proclamation until 1966.  Public Law 92-278 made it an official holiday in 1972.
