Father’s Day was founded on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA by Sonora Smart Dodd to honor her father, a Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, for all his efforts as a single parent raising his six children.
The national day honoring dads was started by a woman who was raised by a widower. Sonora Smart Dodd’s father, William Smart, raised her and five brothers after their mother died during childbirth.
While listening to a Mother’s Day sermon with her father at the Central Methodist Church in 1909, Dodd was bothered that there wasn’t a day to honor her civil war veteran father who raised her and five younger brothers alone. Watch the video to hear the rest of the story.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO PRESIDENT TRUMP AND DON TRUMP JR.
On this day, may we also honor our Father in Heaven who guides each one of us in the way we should go. Have a joyful day and remember each day is precious.
The fifth commandment is the one that also contains a special blessing attached to it. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”
