O flag of

stripes,

Sunday, June 15,
2008 - Fathers
Day
Father's Day
is a celebration
inaugurated in
the early
twentieth
century to
complement
Mother's Day
in celebrating
fatherhood
and male
parenting,
and to honor and
commemorate
fathers and
forefathers.
Father's Day is
celebrated on a
variety of dates
worldwide and
typically
involves
gift-giving to
fathers and
family-oriented
activities. This
year it will be
celebrated on
June 15th
in most
countries. We
believe that one
of the
fundamental
underpinnings of
the American way
of life is the
family with
fathers playing
an important
role. Each
father is a
unique creation
that deserves
special
recognition on
his day. To all
fathers, Be
Blessed.
