The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union soldiers who had died during that conflict. (1) In 1868, Major General John A. Logan, leader of an organization for Northern Civil War veterans, called for a nationwide day of remembrance later that month. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he proclaimed.(2) The date of Logan’s proclamation marks the first official celebration of what was then known as Decoration Day.

Father’s Day is a special day to celebrate the men in our lives who have helped us grow and become the people we are today. There are many ways to show your dad how much you appreciate him, but sometimes it can be tough to come up with something new and different. Whether you’re looking for a gift, a card, or just a way to spend some quality time together, we’ve got you covered.
One of the most popular Father’s Day activities is going out to eat together. If your dad is a fan of BBQ, take him out for lunch or dinner at his favorite spot. Or, if he’s more of a steak-and-potatoes kind of guy, make reservations at a nice restaurant. If you want to save money, cooking for dad at home is always a nice option too.
Another great way to show dad how much you care is by taking him on an outing that he’ll enjoy. Does he love golf? Spend a day on the green together. Or, if he’s into hiking or fishing, plan a trip to his favorite spot. Whatever you do, make sure it’s something that he’ll appreciate and enjoy.
If your dad is always working on projects around the house, give him a hand this Father’s Day by lending a helping hand. He’ll appreciate the extra set of hands, and you’ll get quality time together. Plus, it’ll be nice to see your handy work when it’s all done!
No matter how you choose to spend Father’s Day with your dad, make sure it’s special and memorable. After all, he deserves it!
