Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on November 21, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Anthony G. Brown! From serving Maryland as its 8th Lieutenant Governor to bravely representing our nation overseas in Iraq, you've proven that politicians can indeed multitask—balancing policy debates and military boots with equal finesse.

Your nearly three decades of dedicated Army service make you one of the highest-ranking elected officials who knows firsthand how tough it is to navigate both battlefields and political minefields. Here's hoping your birthday brings fewer briefings and more cake slices; after all those years defending democracy abroad and at home, you've certainly earned a day off!

Cheers to another year ahead!
