\"WhenA celebration of fathers and men’s contributions to parenthood, the history of Father’s Day doesn’t reach as far back as that of its counterpart, Mother’s Day, though the country’s embracing the latter helped the former get the recognition it richly deserved.\u00a0 The 1st Father’s Day was celebrated in West Virginia on July 5, 1908 as a memorial to 210 fathers killed in the Monangah Mining Disaster in December 1907. President Johnson issued a Presidential Proclamation designating the 3rd Sunday in June in honor of Father’s Day.\u00a0 Finally, in 1972, President Nixon signed a bill making Father’s Day a law. In the United States, Father’s Day is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June each year.<\/p>\n
