As a weird contradiction, don't Americans also generally say '4th of July' when referring to the holiday?

A relic of being a colony.

As an American I can confirm that, not only do we say “4th of July,” both phrasings are in common use for any date of the year.

March 5th is more commonly heard in USA than 5th of March, but nobody would look at you funny either way.
