    Thanks big guy for doing things some of us only dream of doing but at the same time inspiring us to do the same in the capacity we can. You’re always an inspiration in my life. Thanks for all you do to make the world a better place for those less fortunate. You’re the best!

52. Lisa Truhlar on May 8, 2013 at 9:49 pm

    Thanks for being such a inspiration. Since that first U2 concert back in 1985, I knew this band was going to change my life for the better. Your lyrics have touched my heart and your actions have shaped how I live my life. Thanks for everything you and your wife contribute your time to. I only hope my daughter understands the importance of giving back as I do. Have the happiest of Birthdays!!

    Keep on doing your good job as an activist, a great human being, a talented lyricist, singer and musician. And as one of my best friends.
    Have a nice day, Annalisa

54. Sabina on May 9, 2013 at 10:47 am

    Happy Birthday, Bono!

57. Tara ODonnell on May 9, 2013 at 8:01 pm

    Bono,
    Thank You! Thank you for taking issues that seem – esoteric, too big, like “someone else’s problem” – and grounding them, making them real and more importantly, providing avenues of participation and tangible tools like (RED), One.org, Edun, etc for someone like me, the every-day person, to be able to make a real difference. You continue to lift me up and inspire me.
    Happy Birthday and many more to come.
    All the best always,
    Tara O’Donnell
