Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on September 08, 1954)

Happy Birthday, General Odierno! You've commanded troops, advised presidents, and navigated the Pentagon—yet somehow you still haven't mastered the art of retirement. Your leadership as U.S. Army Chief of Staff under President Obama was legendary; rumor has it even your shadow salutes you.

From leading operations overseas to shaping military strategy at home, you've set standards higher than your famously shiny boots. Today we celebrate not just another year older—but another year wiser (and possibly tougher). May your birthday be filled with laughter, relaxation—and absolutely no push-ups. After all, even generals deserve a day off duty!
