Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on September 06, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Cameron Kerry! You might only have been Acting US Secretary of Commerce for one short month in 2013—but what a glorious month it was! Clearly those few weeks made an impact the nation won't soon forget. Perhaps next year they'll give you two months.

But seriously though, your steady work at the Commerce Department and tireless leadership deserve lasting praise—especially since you've managed all these successes despite being known as "John's younger brother." May today remind you that greatness doesn’t always need to run for President—it can shine brightly (even briefly) behind-the-scenes too. Happy birthday!
