Today in Comics History, July 4: Happy birthday, America! (Captain America, that is!)

Yes, a very happy birthday to America's ass, born on this day (on Earth-19999) in 1918!


from Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger one-shot (March 2016)
Earth-616 Cap has the same birthday, but was born a year earlier. Obviously this guy has read the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe!

Happy birthday, Cap! Even when I'm angry at the country, I still believe in you.
