I urge the support of House Concurrent Resolution 285. As a father of three, grandfather of triplet grandchildren and another--four grandchildren, and one great grandchild, I certainly am here to say that I think that Father's Day is a wonderful day. I was very privileged to have my children take me to a wonderful brunch, as they do every Father's Day. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House to vote in favor of this resolution.
