Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on December 21, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Luke Stricklin! Another year older and still rockin' that guitar like nobody's business. You've given us heartfelt songs inspired by your bravery in Iraq—especially the unforgettable "American By God's Amazing Grace." Honestly, we're convinced you could turn a grocery list into an anthem.

Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as you've brought to fans everywhere. May your day be filled with laughter, good friends—and maybe even some cake that's sweeter than hitting number one on the charts (though we know that's tough competition). Keep singing loud and proud; you're truly timeless!
