Tribute to All Fathers That will establish the fact that I never gave my father a tie. The island was hot enough in the 1950s for any Puerto Rican father to succumb to a shackle on his neck.

here are
many versions about the origins of Father's Day. Most countries will
undoubtedly have their own, according to their folklore. In the USA there
are different versions as well, but most center on the fundamental basic
facts. In Puerto Rico, we borrowed from our friends in the North and made
it our own.
