-- FULL STORY --
Before the cards, ties, and backyard barbecues, Father’s Day began as a heartfelt mission by Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman determined to honor her father — a Civil War veteran and single parent who raised six children on his own.

Inspired by a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909, Sonora believed fathers deserved the same recognition. She pushed for a day to celebrate dads, launching the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington, in 1910.

But unlike Mother’s Day, her movement faced decades of resistance. Many viewed it as unnecessary or even a commercial ploy. Still, Sonora kept pushing.

Support slowly grew through the years — even presidents like Calvin Coolidge and Lyndon B. Johnson voiced their support. But it wasn’t until *1972**, over 60 years later, that President **Richard Nixon signed Father’s Day into law* as a permanent U.S. holiday.

Today, we honor all father figures: dads, stepdads, grandfathers, and mentors — the men who teach, protect, and love without question.
