Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on June 05, 1947)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Duane Hackney! You're not just another year older, you're officially a timeless hero. Who else would willingly hand over their parachute mid-air and still manage an epic escape? Clearly, gravity itself respects your bravery!

Your courage during that daring rescue mission in Vietnam continues to inspire us all—proving once again there's nothing you wouldn't do for others (even if it means temporarily defying physics). May this birthday bring laughter as bold as your adventures and joy that's even more enduring than your incredible legacy.

Here's wishing our favorite airborne superhero many happy returns today!
