Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United
States. In 1877, citizens held celebrations throughout the country in honor
of the flag's hundredth birthday. From that time on, groups urged the government
to declare June 14 "Flag Day." Their requests finally met with success in
1949, when President Harry Truman signed legislation making June 14 a national
day of remembrance. </FONT></TD>

<TD COLSPAN=2><FONT FACE="Arial, Helvetica" SIZE="-1">While listening to
a Mother's Day sermon, Sonora Smart Dodd (who had been reared by her father)
thought that a similar day should be set aside to honor fathers. Over the
next year she planned a special celebration to honor the fathers in her hometown
of Spokane, Washington. That celebration, held June 19, 1909,
marked the first Father's Day celebration in the United States. Slowly, the
idea of Father's Day spread throughout the nation until at last, in 1972,
President Richard Nixon established the third Sunday in June as Father's
Day.</FONT></TD>

Continental Concress adopted the Declaration of Independence. Four days later,
on July 8, 1776, colonists gathered in Philadelphia to hear the Declaration
read. Afterward, they celebrated the national's first "Independence Day."
In following years, Independence Day celebrations were held throughout
the country on July 4. Not until 1941, however, was the Fourth of July set
aside as a national holiday.</FONT></TD>
