Father's Day In 1916, President Wilson honored the day by using telegraph signals to

unfurl a flag in Spokane when he pressed a button in Washington, D.C. In 1924,

President Calvin Coolidge urged state governments to observe Father’s Day.

Today, the day honoring fathers is celebrated in the United States on the third Sunday

of June https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/fathers-day

 

21st – June Solstice For us in the Northern Hemisphere, this solstice marks the

longest day of the year. Early dawns. Long days. Late sunsets. Short nights.

The sun at its height each day, as it crosses the sky. Meanwhile, south of the equator,

winter begins. It’s because Earth doesn’t orbit upright. Instead, our world is tilted on its

axis by 23 1/2 degrees. Earth’s Northern and Southern Hemispheres trade places in

receiving the sun’s light and warmth most directly.
