America's Greatest Source of Strength
What is America's greatest source of strength and inspiration?
According to the U.S. Congress, it's American mothers. Stay-at-home moms, Congress declared, are "doing so much for the home . . . and [for] religion," which leads to "good government and humanity."
Congress use these in 1914 when it created Mother's Day. The words reflect the widespread belief that full-time mothers were performing a vitally important task.
