“ Fatherhood provides one of life's most profound joys and one of its most solemn responsibilities. Everyone who has been blessed by a father's love knows the abiding respect it inspires and the self-esteem that can grow from a dad's affectionate guidance. ”

“ They share with us their experiences and energies, creating the strong foundation on which our children build their lives. A father's arm is there to protect and steer-whether cradling a newborn baby, steadying the rider of a first two-wheeler, or walking his child down the aisle. ”

“ On this Father's Day and throughout the year, let us thank fathers for their sacrifices and struggles and celebrate the special care they give their loved ones every day. With grateful words and actions, we honor all those who have embraced fatherhood's unique rewards. ”
