The United States will celebrate its 250th anniversary of its independence on 4 July, marking a milestone in the nation’s history with events and commemorations across the country.
For some Americans, however, the date carries a more personal significance: it’s also their birthday.
We are looking to hear from people born on 4 July about what it means to share a birthday with the US when it turns 250 years old. Do you enjoy having your birthday coincide with Independence Day? How has it shaped your sense of identity or what it means to be American? Does sharing a birthday with the US make this anniversary feel more meaningful or more complicated?
