This is a season when we cover far, far too many depressing tales of politics and Washington power. As we roll through the end of the NFL playoffs, what say we take a moment to lend our thoughts to something nicer? There was a birthday party this weekend in New Jersey, and it was honoring somebody who truly has earned the right to blow out as many damn candles as he can manage here in the good old U.S of A. Meet Nicholas Oresko, 96 years young.

Happy birthday, Master Sergeant Oresko, and many, many more. A grateful nation salutes you, sir.
