President Obama is proclaiming today as Father's Day. An official proclamation by the President directs government buildings to display the U.S. flag on this day, and calls upon citizens to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. In his proclamation, Obama says dads play vital roles in our lives, and that "doing right by our families is the most important job any of us will ever have."
The proclamation also states that the Obama Administration is dedicated to enacting policies that make it easier for working fathers to support their families, including paid family leave.
