Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on September 14, 1942)

Happy Birthday, John! Another year wiser and still counting—just like a seasoned banker should. From crunching numbers to advising political giants like John McCain and Mitt Romney, you've always known how to balance the books—and occasionally tip the scales in your favor.

Your recent successes with the Center for Security Policy prove you're not just good at securing investments but also national security strategies. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as watching interest rates rise (when you're on the right side of them). Cheers to another year of strategic brilliance, financial acumen, and impeccable timing!
