And a very happy birthday to John Kerry!

Amazed, from the link, to find out that he and Max Baucus share a birthday -- that must be interesting!

Do you think he's still in Egypt today?

I hope he gets home soon to celebrate with his family. Of course, probably his best belated birthday present will be that grandchild in the spring!

...Senator Kerry, and tomorrow to my granddaughter. Six years ago today my family and I sat in a hospital waiting room thinking she might be born on JK's birthday. But she let us know she HAD to have her own day.

Great to see everyone here! I agree this is the perfect day for the relaunch of DUJK.

And to the DU3 version of DU JK (though I will miss the old version!

This calls for pics! :














And a vid (from last year's '25/45' Celebration at Symphony Hall in Boston)--embodies all the reasons why he is an inspiration, imo! :

Hope he had a fantastic day today--even if en route from Egypt (if he's not home yet)!

It was so well done and included many things I never knew. I wish that it would have been available in 2004, but better late, than never. Along with the comments of people like Peter of Peter, Paul and Mary, it really was an event that celebrated Kerry's service.

Thanks for the photos as well.

It is funny that the expression is one sometimes seen on the 68 year old - the combination of happiness and shyness.
