Ronald Reagan

“ Each year this Nation sets aside a day on which to honor fathers for their many contributions to the well-being of their children, their families, and our society.
Traditionally, Americans have looked to fathers to provide leadership and stability for their families. Fathers play a vital role in providing sustenance, protection, and guidance for their families and the community at large. We owe them our high esteem, for their presence and gift of love as role models, providers, and defenders of the Nation. ”

“ They not only play an invaluable part in transmitting the values and traditions of our society, but are instrumental in encouraging the self-confidence of our youngsters in facing the future.
Fatherhood is both a great responsibility and one of the most rewarding and pleasurable experiences life has to offer. ”
