President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation in 1972 that established Father's Day as a national holiday in the United States. While the holiday had been celebrated in various forms since the early 20th century, Nixon's action officially recognized the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. This proclamation aimed to honor fathers and father figures for their contributions to families and society.
