Mother's Day U.S.

The bond between mother and child is remembered on Mother's Day.

Mother's Day is celebrated the second Sunday to honor mothers throughout America. The holiday was formally declared after Congress passed legislation May 8, 1914, and requesting a proclamation declaring this date a national holiday. President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation on May 9, 1914, declaring the first national holiday. It was requested that American citizens fly the American flag to honor those mothers who lost sons in war action.
