父亲节作文
2012/5/22
父亲节是六月的第三个星期日，它的设立源于母亲节，因为一些人认为如果有了母亲节，也应有父亲节。另一个原因是一些商家促使人们从他们商店或公司为父亲买礼物的一种好方式。
Father‘s Day
Father‘s Day comes on the 3rd Sunday in June. Father‘s Day was started because there was a Mother‘s Day. Some people thought that if we had a Mother‘s Day, we should also have a Father‘s Day. The other reason is that businessmen found it was a good way to get people to buy a gift for their father, a gift from their store or their company.
父亲节英语范文：For the Love of My Father
Over the years, I never thought of my father as being very emotional, and he never was, at least not in front of me. Even though he was 68 years old and only five-foot-nine, while I was six feet and 260 pounds, he seemed huge to me. I always saw him as being that staunch disciplinarian who rarely cracked a smile. My father never told me he loved me when I was a child, and I never held it against him. I think that all I really wanted was for my dad to be proud of me. In my youth, Mom always showered me with “I love you’s” every day. So I really never thought about not hearing it from my dad. I guess deep down I knew that he loved me, he just never said it. Come to think of it, I don’t think I ever told him that I loved him, either. I never really thought about it much until I faced the reality of death.
On November 9th, 1990, I received word that my National Guard unit was being activated for Operation Desert Shield. We would convoy to Fort Ben Harrison, Indiana, and then directly to Saudi Arabia. I had been in the Guard for 10 years and never dreamed that we would be activated for a war, even though I knew it was what we trained for. I went to my father and gave him the news. I could sense he was uneasy about me going. We never discussed it much more, and eight days later I was gone.
