Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on July 27, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Don Evans! From steering the Commerce Department through economic tides to keeping trade flowing smoothly during your tenure as America's 34th Secretary of Commerce (2001-2005), you've always known how to balance budgets—and birthdays—with style. Your leadership and dedication continue inspiring us all.

Today we celebrate not just another candle on your cake but also those timeless moments when you navigated policy with grace, humor, and wisdom. May this year bring even more success—though topping a cabinet position might be tough! Here's wishing you laughter-filled days ahead; after all these years in politics, you've certainly earned it!
