Prominent people who came into the world on the anniversary of the birth our nation include:

However, in my opinion, the most prominent person born on this day is "The Boss", George Steinbrenner, the deceased owner of my favorite New York Yankees team, which happens to be playing the other New York team, the Mets, this July 4th weekend.
It's a 3 game series at the Mets home, Citi Field, starting tonight. Tomorrow night is Gotham's night. I will be there with many other Gothamites, including Gotham's most staunch Met fan, Corey Bearak, to whom we are thankful for arranging this clash annually.
The last few years, the Mets have prevailed. Thus causing me to eat crow, but hope springs eternal that this time, in homage to "The Boss", there will be joy in Mudville!

Finally broke the losing streak and won the Sunday game. My first game at Yankee stadium was (I believe) in 1952. I was 6. The Yankees behind Vic Rashi beat Mel Parnell of the Red Sox, 3 to 2.

We love the 4th of July! When we moved into our house 51 years ago we noticed on 7/4 streams of people walking by! Turns out there is a parade 2 blocks away. A hometown wonder of bands and floats and politicos. Some years up to 5,000 watch this happy celebration. Long may it wave! Yet 3 notable Presidents died on this day - Jefferson, Adams and Monroe. In the Frederick Maryland Herald it was noted that perhaps it was no coincidence but that on that day which these men were synonymous with ‘the skies opened up to welcome them’. God bless America and you Fred! And all of us. Keep on keeping on!
