Introduction:

Father's Day is a day to celebrate parenting, and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father's Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving, and special dinners to fathers and family-oriented activities. ... The first observance of Father's Day is believed to have been held on July 5 1908... by Dr. Robert Webb of West Virginia at the Central United Methodist Church of Fairmont. Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd ... was the first to solicit the idea of having an official Father's Day observance. ... A bill was introduced in 1913, US President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea in 1924, a national committee was formed in the 1930s by trade groups in order to legitimize the holiday. ... The holiday was not officially recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
