Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first Armstice Day (this would later become Veteran's Day) in 1919. Later, after World War II, President Dwight D. Eisenhower called for the formation of a Veteran's Day National committee. The Administrator of the Dept. of Veteran's Affairs, Harvey V. Higley was chairman of that committee.

Father's Day is not an official holiday in the US. Attempts to make it a national holiday have not passed Congress.
