Senate Resolution No. 2073

BY: Senator BAILEY

        CELEBRATING Father's Day on June 21, 2026

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to  join
with the special men in their lives to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday,
June 21, 2026; 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 21, 2026.
