Today is already July 5th in Japan, and America’s 「独立記念日」 (Independence Day) isn’t obserevd in Japan (obviously)…but, as I’m American, I thought I’d write a post about it.
Kind of a “Didja know…?” post.
So, did you know that…
– three U.S. Presidents died on July 4th? (John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on the same day…1826 July 4th, and James Monroe died on 1831 July 4th.)
– Heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne was married on 1982 July 4th (thirty years ago yesterday).
– There were (at least) two movies with Fourth of July-related titles…”Independence Day” and “Born On The Fourth of July“.
– Tom Cruise starred in the aforementioned “Born On The Fourth of July” and he nearly was born on that day…his birthday is July 3rd.
Can you think of any other July 4th coincidences or interesting trivia?
Are you American? How do you celebrate America’s Independence Day? (Even better…are you not American but celebrate the holiday??)
