父亲节公益广告-父亲节为每年6月的第三个星期日。起源于美国，多德夫人早年丧母，有感于父亲无微不至地照顾她们姐弟6人成长，自己却过着节衣缩食的节俭日子。深感父亲的这种自我牺牲精神应该得到表彰，于是多德夫人给华盛顿州写了一封信建议将其父亲的生日，即每年的6月5日定为父亲节。州政府采纳建议并将日期定为第年6月第三个星期日。1910年，多德零售价所在的华盛顿州博斯坎市举行了第一次全市性的父亲节庆祝活动。1972年，美国尼克松总统签署了议会决定，使得父亲节正式成为全国性的节日。
　　现在，父亲节已逐渐从美国走出，世界各地的人用自己的不同方式来表达对父亲节的敬意。在节日这一天，子女们会一早起来，亲自动手为父亲做丰盛的早餐，制作精美小礼品送予父亲。

　　Who came up with the idea of Father‘s Day?

　　Her name was Sonora Louise Smart Dodd and she lived in Spokane, Washington.
