## Resource

Four friends born on the same day—July 4, 1976, the bicentennial—celebrate turning 50 together in their hometown of Mills County, Iowa. Jenni, Holly, and the twins Allan and David Hughes were part of a group of 13 babies born that day at Jennie Edmundson Hospital, with the doctor reportedly rushing back to his farm. Growing up, they bonded deeply, sharing milestones like Jenni passing her county fair queen crown to Holly, and even joking that fireworks were for their birthday. One twin even calls it “recommended” to be born on the Fourth. Despite modern trends of leaving home, all four have returned to Mills County to raise families, making their story a heartwarming full-circle moment tied to American history.
