Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on October 04, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Admiral Michael Mullen! From commanding the seas to steering national security as the 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (2007–2011), you've navigated through storms tougher than any birthday candle inferno. Your leadership has always been smoother than a Navy destroyer sailing calm waters—though rumor has it your golf swing might need some strategic oversight!

On this special day, we salute your timeless wisdom and legendary patience in handling both global crises and Pentagon paperwork alike. May you celebrate with fewer briefings and more cake slices today; after all, even admirals deserve shore leave occasionally!
