Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on November 10, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Aaron Brown! From your calm and steady presence during CNN's unforgettable coverage of September 11th to becoming one of journalism’s most trusted voices, you've always been the anchor who kept us informed—and occasionally smiling. Your ability to deliver news with clarity (and subtle humor) has made you timelessly appreciated.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer breaking-news interruptions and more cake-filled celebrations. May your year ahead be filled with as many memorable moments as those iconic broadcasts that defined a generation—though preferably less stressful ones! Cheers to another successful trip around the sun; keep anchoring our hearts forever.
