Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on July 23, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Michael! You've survived intense missions, earned a Purple Heart and Distinguished Service Medal, and even endured 11 days as Somalia's most reluctant guest. Clearly, your idea of adventure makes Indiana Jones look like he's just playing dress-up.

But seriously—your courage under pressure continues to inspire us all. While some folks brag about surviving rush-hour traffic or bad coffee at work, you've set the bar impossibly high with actual heroics. Here's hoping this birthday brings you plenty of laughs (and cake!) without any unexpected helicopter rides.

Cheers to another year filled with success—and fewer surprise vacations abroad!
