Happy Father’s Day!
Father’s Day in the United States is on the third Sunday of June, this year on June 16th. It celebrates the contribution that fathers and father figures make for their children’s lives. Its origins may lie in a memorial service held for a large group of men, many of them fathers, who were killed in a mining accident in Monongah, West Virginia in 1907.
