23 July - USA celebrates National Parents' Day

 


In the United States, National Parents' Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of July each year. The day was established in 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into law. The resolution was introduced by Senator Trent Lott and Representative Dan Burton to establish a day of commemoration to recognize, uplift, and support the role of parents in society.

National Parents' Day provides an opportunity for children of all ages to express their gratitude and appreciation to their parents for the love, guidance, and sacrifices they have made. It's also a day for parents to reflect on their responsibilities as caregivers and role models for their children.

Various activities and events take place on this day, including family gatherings, picnics, dinners, and gift-giving to show appreciation. Many communities and organizations also hold special events to promote and celebrate the significance of strong and healthy family relationships.

It's important to note that National Parents' Day is distinct from Mother's Day and Father's Day, which are dedicated to honoring individual parents separately. Instead, National Parents' Day emphasizes the collective importance of both parents in a child's life and the family unit as a whole.
