What is the history of friendship day?

[Prabakar]

My friend said to me that in 1935 The US police killed an innocent person & his friend suicide because of that, thus US government declared Friendship day.

I searched the net but didn't see any such story. But I found it was somewhat right, that it was started in 1935 & by the US Congress Govt. Please clarify the reason.

But like anything else, it's starting to look like just another merchandising opportunity to make up for the slow period between the previous splurge and the next splurge.

"friendship day origin" is your search term of the day.
