 
Assembly Resolution No. 803
 
BY: M. of A. Dais
 
        CELEBRATING Father's Day on June 15, 2025
 
  WHEREAS,  From  time  to  time  this  Legislative Body takes note of
certain extraordinary individuals  it  wishes  to  recognize  for  their
valued contributions to the success and progress of society and publicly
acknowledge their endeavors which have enhanced the basic humanity among
us all; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, the  members  of  this  Legislative  Body  are
justly  proud  to  join with the special men in their lives to celebrate
Father's Day on Sunday, June 15, 2025; and
 
  WHEREAS, Fifty-eight years  after  the  founding  of  Mother's  Day,
President  Richard  Nixon  declared  Father's Day an official holiday in
1972; and
 
  WHEREAS, Just like Mother's Day, Father's Day is a way  of  honoring
the sacrifices fathers make for their children; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Today,  over  50 years later, Father's Day remains the one
day out of the year to praise and pay tribute to fathers, and all  other
men  who  have  taken on that role and acted as a father figure in their
children's lives, including those being raised in a single parent  home,
whether  it be an uncle, stepfather, grandfather, friend or big brother;
and
 
  WHEREAS, These outstanding men show great strength and selflessness,
as well as spend  countless  hours  offering  their  love,  support  and
guidance  to  the  children  in  their  lives, acting as role models and
inspiring them to develop to their fullest potential; and
 
  WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to pay tribute  and  commend
all  fathers  and  father figures who are worthy of full recognition for
their valued contributions and who  should  be  celebrated  by  all  the
citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
celebrate Father's Day on Sunday, June 15, 2025.
