Happy birthday, David! Another year wiser and still bravely marching forward, just like your insightful analysis of Slavic military strategy. Your dedication to revealing historical nuances in the Journal of Slavic Military Studies has undoubtedly made waves, winning both battles and hearts among academics everywhere.

May you continue to edit manuscripts with precision sharper than a Soviet bayonet charge and oversee publication campaigns that surpass even Zhukov’s strategic genius. Here's wishing your coming year is filled with victories as grand as your latest editorial triumphs—plus much laughter along the way. Cheers to you on another legendary orbit around history!
