Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on January 10, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Stephen Ambrose! May your celebration be as epic and memorable as the historical journeys you've brought vividly to life. From guiding us through Eisenhower's leadership and Nixon’s complexities, to immersing readers in the courageous adventures of Lewis and Clark—your storytelling has made history feel like a thrilling blockbuster.

Your meticulous recounting of D-Day transported us directly onto Normandy beaches without getting sand in our shoes—a true literary feat! Today we toast you for making history accessible, exciting, and unforgettable. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter worthy of presidential anecdotes—and cake slices bigger than Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase!
