Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on August 10, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Juan Manuel Santos! From skillfully managing numbers and news as an economist and journalist to orchestrating a rescue plot straight out of Hollywood—Operation Jaque—you sure know how to keep things interesting. Who else can boast delivering 15 hostages from Marxist militants without messing up their tie?

As you celebrate another trip around the sun, remember your impressive legacy: promoting peace through diplomacy (and maybe some secret superhero moves). May this birthday be filled with joy brighter than Colombia's sunshine—and may no operation today involve quite so much danger or dramatics!

Feliz cumpleaños Señor Presidente; wishing you laughter-filled missions ahead!
