    Dear Buzz,

    Happy birthday! My name is Owen. I am 3 1/2 years old. You are my favorite astronaut. I think about you every day and I like pictures of you and Neil Armstrong and Michael Colins. I like to pretend I am you walking on the moon. You are my hero. Have a wonderful year. Happy New Year and Happy Birthday! Love, Owen.

    May you have a wonderful birthday. You have inspired generations to believe in themselves to do what seems to be the impossible. You will live in the hearts of many as the first man to walk on the moon. For those of us that watched you on Dancing with the Stars, you will be a hero that shows us courage in all areas of life. God bless you, sir, and give you more happiness than you can ever image.

    Happy birthday. As if it needed saying, your walk on the moon, alongside JFK’s assassination, Kent State and 9/11, will live on as the most significant days in my life. Unlike the others however, yours holds a positive memory. Where the others represent all that is wrong with Mankind, yours represents all that is right.

    Dear Mr. Aldrin,

    I just wanted to wish you a very happy 85th Birthday. Like millions of Americans, I stayed up very late at night the day that Apollo 11 landed on the moon. I can’t begin to imagine the excitement that you and Neil Armstrong must have shared that day to be the first people to set foot on the lunar surface. You inspired generations of Americans to reach for the stars.

    Thank you for everything that you have done for our Nation.

    I hope that you have an amazing and fulfilling birthday.

    With great thanks,
    Harry

    P.S. I wish that I had been at DiveTech last week instead of going to Cayman in two weeks so that I could have gone scuba diving with you.
