Fathers Day Gifts - 10 Fathers Day Gifts To Show Your Appreciation
Fathers Day is on the third Sunday in June
Fathers Day is on the third Sunday in June. For 2010, Fathers Day will be on June 20th. This holiday was initiated in 1909 by Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington. She proposed a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5th, her father's birthday. Mrs. Dodd's father, William Jackson Smart, was a civil War veteran. His wife died early in childbirth. He refused to remarry and single-handedly raised his 6 children. Mrs. Dodd wanted to recognize the sacrifices her father made in raising herself and her brothers, and to acknowledge fathers everywhere. However, since her minister needed more time to prepare for the sermon, the father's day service was conducted on June 19th, a couple of weeks later. The state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day from then on. However, it was not until sixty-two years later, in 1972, that President Richard Nixon officially established Father's Day as a national day of observance.
Father's Day has been widely celebrated annually thereafter. There are so many ways you can show your appreciation to your dad on his special day, and sending him a Fathers Day gift is a great way to show your appreciation. This article provides 10 Fathers Day gift ideas.
