Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on May 16, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Senator Dan Coats! You've served Indiana so well, they elected you twice—clearly proving that sequels can indeed be better than the originals. From your steadfast commitment to responsible spending and tackling national debt, you've shown us all how fiscal responsibility never goes out of style.

And let's not forget your diplomatic charm as Ambassador to Germany; navigating international relations is no easy feat—but hey, anyone who can handle Congress twice surely knows a thing or two about diplomacy. Here's wishing you another year filled with success—and perhaps fewer budget debates and more birthday cake!
