Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on June 18, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Senator Jay Rockefeller! You've navigated politics with the grace of a seasoned mountaineer scaling West Virginia's hills—two terms as governor and decades in the Senate prove you're tougher than any Appalachian trail. Your tireless advocacy for veterans has earned you more respect than a coal miner at quitting time.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, cake, and fewer committee meetings. After all these years championing veterans' affairs, you've certainly earned some rest—but knowing you, you'll probably spend it strategizing your next great move. Cheers to another year of making history look easy!
