Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on September 27, 1952)

Happy Birthday, General Walter L. Sharp! You may have commanded troops around the globe and steered our nation's joint forces with military precision, but today your greatest mission is blowing out all those candles—you’ve got this!

We honor your incredible leadership as Director of the Joint Staff during pivotal moments in history—always calm under pressure and decisive when it mattered most. Now it's time to strategize on cake slices rather than battle plans; you deserve every sweet moment, sir.

Wishing you another year filled with adventures that rival even your proudest accomplishments (just perhaps a bit fewer briefings). Happy birthday!
