Happy Father’s Day!

“In the homes of our Nation, we look to the fathers to provide the strength and stability which characterize the successful family.

If the father’s responsibilities are many, his rewards are also great—the love, appreciation, and respect of children and spouse. It is the desire to acknowledge publicly these feelings we have for the fathers of our Nation that has inspired the Congress to call for the formal observance of Father’s Day.”

(Lyndon B. Johnson: “Proclamation 3730—Father’s Day, 1966,” June 15, 1966)
