Wasn’t George M Cohan, from “Yankee Doodle Dandy” fame, born on the 4th of July? Or was that merely made up for the movie?

Sadly, the latest research suggests that Louis Armstrong was not born on the 4th of July, but rather the 4th of August.

And I may as well casually mention that I was born on the 4th of July, and my first child seems to be headed for that as well (she’s a week overdue already…)
