SHREVEPORT LA (06.21.26) Happy Father’s Day 2026 to all across the 12volt industry and beyond. Father’s Day was first celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, WA and championed by Sonora Smart Dodd to honor her Civil War veteran Father who raised six children as a single parent. Today it is celebrated annually on the third Sunday of June across the United States.
My first Father’s memory began February 17, 1945. My father was a paratrooper in Germany during the World War II. My Father was a commercial artist and created the graphic below as he was writing a letter to my mother in Lincoln, NE. He actually drew this graphic on a brown paper bag as the cover of the letter he was writing to my mother after he heard that I had been born. In the graphic, on the bottom right, my Mother and Father look down at me in diapers.
It’s been many years since 1945, Still all need to remember and thank their Fathers. Happy Father’s Day 2026.
