Father's Day - Harry claimed that he had first come up with the idea for Father's Day

Time: 1915

Place: U.S.

Details: Harry C. Meek, a member of Lions Clubs International, claimed that he had first come up with the idea for Father's Day in 1915.

Meek made many efforts to promote Father's Day and make it an official holiday.
