Calendar Days: Father's Day History

VOICE OVER: Rebecca Brayton

Just like we honor our mothers with a special day, we also commemorate the importance of the men in our lives with a dedicated Father's Day. Celebrated primarily on the third Sunday in June around the world, Father's Day originated in the early twentieth century and was finally made a national holiday in 1972. Each year, families spend time together and pay tribute to dads, both living and dead. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com learns more about the history and origins of Father's Day.
