Born on a special day?

**illuminationx** · 11-04-2010

I'm just curious about how many other people in this rather wonderful forum have birthdays on a really special day! So I've decided to share mine.

I was born in December 7th, 1993. And yes, December 7th, was the day the U.S. was attacked by Japanese. Pearl Harbor to be exact. I think it's kinda cool that I was born on a day like this.... What's yours?

**warlord_evil** · 11-04-2010

My close relative was born on Dec. 21st...
