Mr Smart used to be a soldier. His wife died when she gave birth to her sixth child. Mr Smart had to raise his six children alone. They lived a hard life. After Mrs Dodd grew up, she wanted to thank her father for what he had done for them. She wrote a letter to a church and asked for the third Sunday in June to be Father’ s Day. The church agreed with her.

     The first Father' s Day was celebrated on June 19th, 1910 in Washington. Children made special desserts, and did other things to make their fathers happy. In 1924, President(总统) Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father' s Day. People all over the country began to celebrate Father's Day. Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made the third Sunday in June Father’s Day.
