Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on November 19, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Tommy Thompson! You've set records as Wisconsin's longest-serving governor—14 years of cheese curds, Packers pride, and policy-making prowess. Your leadership left a lasting legacy in education reform and welfare innovation that Wisconsinites still toast to today.

Then you took your talents national as the 19th U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services—proving once again you're not just good at governing dairyland but also skilled at navigating Washington bureaucracy (a feat deserving its own medal!). Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success—and perhaps fewer committee meetings. Cheers to a timeless leader who ages better than fine Wisconsin cheddar!
