Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on November 30, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Rand Beers! From navigating the complex corridors of national security to stepping into the role as Secretary of Homeland Security in 2013, you've always managed to keep America safe—and your sense of humor intact. Who knew homeland protection could come with such style?

Your dedication and leadership have left a lasting impact on our nation’s safety policies—though rumor has it that even you occasionally struggle getting through airport security smoothly! Here's wishing you another year filled with success, laughter, and fewer pat-downs at TSA checkpoints.

Cheers to many more years protecting us all (and surviving bureaucratic meetings)!
