It's Bill of Rights Day!
The first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. Passed by Congress on September 25, 1789, these rights provided specific freedoms to citizens and limited the power of government. In 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt made Presidential Proclamation 2524, declaring this day would be known as Bill of Rights Day. In his proclamation, among other things, he asked government officials and the people of the United States to display the flag and meet for "such prayers and such ceremonies as may seem to them appropriate." Not exactly the best iteration of Commander's Intent, but you work with what you have!
