There is a huge list of stuff on Wikipedia about my birthday, but the only two things that I found interesting was the evacuation of Auschwitz in 1945 and the start of Operation: Desert Storm during the Gulf War in 1991 (my second birthday).
The Desert Storm one is especially interesting because there is a mission in the PS2 game Operation: Desert Storm that takes place on that date, so that was cool.
