BILL OF RIGHTS DAY

Bill of Rights Day (by Presidential Proclamation)

"Now, Therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate December 15, 1941, as Bill of Rights Day. And I call upon the officials of the Government, and upon the people of the United States, to observe the day by displaying the flag of the United States on public buildings and by meeting together for such prayers and such ceremonies as may seem to them appropriate."

Do you celebrate America's civil holidays? Do you cherish your rights and freedoms as an American? If so, then make time to have a special day and remember the foundation for all of them: Bill of Rights Day, Sunday December 15.

The Bill of Rights is a major part of the "American way of life." America's civic holidays -- the Birthdays of Washington, Lincoln, and King, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day -- all remind us of the special contributions and sacrifices made by our forefathers and leaders to preserve, protect, and extend our freedoms. Each of these civic holidays exists because someone cared enough to fight and die for our rights --
the rights contained in the Bill of Rights.
