The national observance of fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers is Sunday.

There are a variety of stories of how the holiday actually came about, but President Calvin Coolidge made Father's Day a national observance in 1924.
Fathers are honored across the country in various ways.
From presents to cards to food to simply spending the day together, the appreciation of the role of "Dad" will be widely practiced this Sunday.
Locally, businesses and restaurants are offering offer sales and specials in honor of Father's Day.
