Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on July 24, 1943)

Happy Birthday, John Bryson! From steering the Commerce Department to navigating complex economic waters, you've always had a knack for leadership—even if your driving record briefly suggested otherwise. Your dedication and resilience have left an enduring mark on public service.

Despite life's occasional bumps (and unexpected detours), you continue to inspire with grace and humor. May this birthday bring fewer speedbumps and more smooth sailing ahead—after all, you're proof that even after hitting obstacles head-on (or sideways), one can still bounce back stronger than ever!

Wishing you laughter-filled celebrations today; just remember: leave the driving to someone else!
