Alternatively, you can seek inspiration in the Wikipedia “On This Day” article.
[Image description: Photo of a white, outdoor sculpture of a muscled young man in the Classical Greek style, mounted on a plinth in front of a pillar of granite blocks with a large, overhanging lintel. Everything is weathered and a little stained. The man has large, furled, feathered wings on his back and appears to have a cloak folded behind him, a corner of which drapes over his groin. He is otherwise naked apart from an elaborate laurel crown on his shoulder-length, curled hair. He is clutching a short, slender sword in his right hand and is holding something indistinct to his chest, which may be flames or a clump of vegetation or waving hair. Between his right leg and right wing is a short, knee-high pillar in the same stone, draped in carved leaves and various round, hollow things of various sizes. The title carved on the top of the plinth, just beneath his feet, reads "Patriotismo". His extremely smooth, barely rendered expression is of a kind of vacuous sorrow (seriously, his face is the least detailed aspect of the thing!). End image description.]
