Parents' Day in the United States

In the United States, Parents' Day is held on the fourth Sunday of every July. This was established in 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into law (36 U.S.C. § 135) for "recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children."

Parents Day, proclaimed by a joint Congressional Resolution, was created to provide an opportunity to uplift parenthood and to highlight the important roles parents have in helping children grow up successfully. Parents' Day may also serve as a time for communities to celebrate dedicated parents who strive to raise their children well, often putting self-gratification aside to nurture their children in a supportive environment.^{[citation needed]}
