All these things and more! But also April 4 was the US premiere date for Captain America: the Winter Soldier, so it really is a “birthday” of sorts.

I too thought it was because it was the day after CA:TWS came out in theatres :D
Well, we have to blame/thank Marvel for that one, since they decided that these movies are apparently released “in real time.” Which is why Cap 2 takes place 2 years after Cap 1, and Cap 3 is going to be literally 2 years after Cap 2. (Or more, now, since Spiderman???) Like, I looked up when the “Battle at the Triskelion” takes place, and it’s ... April 4, 2014.
But yes, I’m all for celebrating Bucky’s birthday again on April 4th. :)

What is hilarious about this conversation is that I decided a while ago that Steve’s July 4 date is made up and his birthday is actually in late March. I mean, he was falsifying everything else on his enlistment records; why not stick in a 4th of July birthday and try the “LOOK I WAS BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY IT’S YOUR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO LET ME INTO THE ARMY.”
I’ve read (and enjoyed) a lot of fics that get into that! My favorite remains toli-a‘s “The stone’s in the midst of it all”. Here’s the snippet:
When the boy is born, late that year, as dusty air begins to freeze, she tells the doctor – she knows them all now, is one of the only women on her block to give birth at the hospital, simply because she was already there, because she is always there, surrounded by the dead and the dying – what date to write before she tells him the name, thinking of summer heat and parades and fireworks. “There something wrong with November?” he wonders, even as he scribbles “July 4, 1918” next to DOB.
“It's not poetic,” she answers, slumping against the pillow, watching the small, red-faced infant wave his fists and mewl at the cold. Dr. Parker is from Brooklyn as far back as his parents can recall, and so he would not understand that the words he prints are the child's enlistment papers, the baptism scheduled for next week his induction into the war.
Which is why I’ve headcanoned Steve’s actual birthday to be November for the last 8 months. :D
