Did you know that Father's Day began in 1909? That's right. Mrs. John B. Dodd of Washington thought up the idea as a unique way to honor her father, William Smart. Mr. Smart was a Civil War veteran. He was widowed when his wife died during the birth of their sixth child.
Being left to raise the newborn and five other children by himself on a rural farm, William Smart did a great job of showing the love of a father to his children.

The Spirit Of Father's Day
Father's Day Gift Basket Ideas
It was when Mrs. Dodd was an adult that she realized just how much
her father had done as a single father. To honor him, she began her
first official Father's Day. Interestingly, at about the same
time in
other areas of the country other folks were getting precisely the
same idea about their fathers. Goes to show you when one person has a
great idea others may be thinking the same great idea at the same
time.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge endorsed the idea of a national
Father's Day. In 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a
presidential
proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. And that's how Father's Day began!
