🪶 Heritage & Heart: The First Father's Day

• The first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. It was started by Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honor her father, a Civil War veteran and single dad who raised six children. Inspired by Mother’s Day, Sonora’s heart to honor fathers sparked a movement—reminding us that love, sacrifice, and godly influence deserve celebration.
