Bono's Birthday Card - 2008

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy birthday Bono from the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Down Under. To donate a gift in your name to the African Well Fund is a privilege and a thank you so, so much for the gift of your music to us.

Happy Birthday Bono, I'm so happy to have this opportunity to do something like this for you. You are a great example of loving others as you love yourself, all people, no matter who they are or where they live.

I convinced my family (I'm only 16) to donate 10% of all our income to the less fortunate, that was our lives will make a difference in many more lives all over the world. You were an inspiration for this, thank you!

Dear Bono: Happy Birthday! The whole world is very lucky to have you in it for your music, your generosity, your compassion and caring. Best wishes for another happy and healthy year!

From Barbara Lyden

I told my daughters I didn't need anything for my birthday May 9th 1960. But, so many people of the world did. I have stepped on board with many of Bonos campaigns. I'm a big supporter of red products, one campaign and asked my daughters to give to a campaign and I'm proud they chose yours. Happy Birthday to us both.

Happy Birthday to my favorite frontman! Let's get this well built! Thanks for blessing us with your beautiful music and for helping those who have no voice. I hope you have a great 48th! And by the way, you aren't old yet, so keep on kickin! I'm so excited for U2's new album! Again thanks for all you do and have a fantastic birthday. I know you'll party in style!

Oh Bono! I have been reading U2 on U2 and it makes me so proud to have been a fan of this band for so many years! Thank you for all of the hard work you do for Africa and many others places and people. I grew up in Ghana and know first hand how Africa gets in your blood stream! I am thinking of Burma today and singing the song "Walk On", dedicating it to the people of Burma/Myanmar going through what they are going through right now.
God Bless you on your birthday!
Camille from St. Louis

Thank you for your efforts to make the world a better place. Thank you for inspiring me to become a better person.

I put my heart just beside yours to wish you the best birthday on earth.

God bless you forever, Angel of Dublin !

God has a plan for all of us
as He holds us in his hand
For some it will be simple things
but for you it was very grand

He bestowed upon you many gifts
and blessings beyond measure
family, friends, and abundant wealth
He added to your treasure

He showed you things that most of us
would never ever see
and though you tried forgetting
He would not let you be

He wrote brilliant words upon your heart
gave you voice to give them wings
He said scream about injustice
and the suffering that it brings

You used your massive world wide stage
and answerd to God's call
you have given the world His message
and you've handed us the ball

I know you're not St. Bono
you've your faults the same as me
But you've worked as hard as any man
to end the suffering that you see.

It is my honor and privilage to donate to the African Well Fund in your name.
I wish you a truly blessed birthday.

Much love,
Patti O'Riley

Dear Bono,

Happy Birthday! Best wishes for a wonderful and memorable birthday. I can't begin to tell you how much you mean to me. You are an inspiration and I admire you to the highest. Thank you for all you do for those in need.

Can't wait to hear the new album & to see you next year!

God Bless you Bono,

Happy Birthday Bono. I think God has given you to the world to show us where it is really at..Helping people whatever way we can. We CAN and WILL get this atrocity of extreme poverty eradicated. I wish you really did read these things because I have many big ideas to help people, but need your help.......alas.......

Hoping you have a beautiful day.
leslie

Happy birthday Bono!!! Thank you (and Edge, Larry, and Adam too!) for creating such amazing music and helping so many good causes and organizations. Your music and generosity has inspired me SO much! If there were more people like you in the world, poverty WOULD be history. I hope that someday I'll get to meet you, but signing your birthday card and donating to an organization you support is the next best thing. I hope you have a great birthday, and many more great birthdays to come!

P.S. I've never been to a U2 concert, but I am DEFINITELY going to one, no matter what, on this coming tour! :)

Wishing you the healthiest, happiest and joyous of birthdays...Hope your day is brilliant and amazing!

In peace,
The students and owners of The Pilates Studio of Bellingham (Washington state)

Bono,

Your thoughts bring peace;
Your words inspire greatness;
Your actions change the world.

Many thanks for simply being the amazing individual that you are and for inspiring us all to be the change we wish to see in the world.
Happy Birthday! ~Christine Harthun

Happy Birthday, Bono! I hope you have a wonderful day with your family and friends.

Thank you for the music and for all you do to help in Africa. I dedicated my yoga/Pilates class to you today!

Love, Lori

Happy B-Day Bono!
God gives us all talents to SHARE - you have shared your talents millions of times over and have "given back" to others thru your time, U2 music & lyrics, and love for others who cannot speak for themselves - you do that for them - with the greatest of humility.....I truely admire those qualities in you. I wish you a wonderful birthday and a wonderful everyday. I have not had the opportunity to attend a U2 concert yet, hopefully this next tour I will - at age 51 after being a fan for over 20 something years. U23D was quite an experience!! I'm sure it's NOT even better than the real thing.
Keep up your excellent work and may God continue to bless all your efforts for the least of our brothers and sisters.

Hello Bono! Happy Birthday to you. Enjoy your Day. Peace and Love be with you always. From; R.B. in the U.S.A.

Sigh! Are you really reading this? I've been a crazed fan for over 23 years now, and keep thinking I'll outgrow it.... but then you come out with something new and it starts all over again (my poor husband!) Anyway, you inspire me to change things in my small, soccer mom ways.
Be good to Ali, and look out for SCREWTAPE, as he is always around. Happy Birthday! Look me up when you are in Virginia!

Happy Birthday-
I'd like to paraphrase a card my children wrote for me.'Thank you for all of the things you have gone through for us and keep fighting for...we will be there to hold your head up high in times of need, as you have done for us'.

Thank you for being a true inspiration and we will all be there to cheer you on.

Happy birthday, Bono (and Jordan)!
Thanks so much for sharing your music and your faith. You've taught me so much about living out my faith in actions, not just in words. You and your loved ones are in my prayers. God bless you!

Well, Bono, all my students here at DCCC know I love you. They just don't understand it's more of an agape thing than an eros thing. We've worked hard this year to raise money and awareness about extreme poverty. One of my students paid me the highest compliment by saying I make her want to be a better person. You do the same for me. God bless you and your family and your friends on this day and in this year and past the end of time.

All kinds of love,
SL

Can't wait to see you on tour again! This year?!?

Cheers to you!

Howdy Bono!

This is my 6th time to give to the AWF, and even though I don't have the money to give, I'm giving it anyway. The AWF is important to me to do once a year no matter what situation I'm in personally. I know that the few bucks that I give will last a life time.

You have been and always will be a huge inspiration to me. I hope and pray that you stick around for the long haul.

So a big huge Texas sized hug and kiss out to you on your 48th birthday!!!

May God watch over you, your family, and the band.

Love,

Allegra :)

You have amazing grace. Have a wild and wonderful 48th birthday !!!

Happy birthday, Bono! Spending money on your gift is an honor. Best wishes, Leslie. Madison, Wisconsin.

Keep ONE/DATA strong. It's a long and bumpy road. And don't forget to work on the new album.

You're the real deal; and I'm grateful for that.
Thank you for your music and your words that have inspired and given me strength.

Happy Birthday, Bono, from a long time (23 years) U2 fan. Here's to at least 20 more! (Hey, if the Stones can still do it now that they're old and wrinkly, so can you guys! LOL)

Enjoy your birthday well. Sure beats a tacky cheesy necktie, right? :D

Cheers!

Karen Cusimano

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO
I just turned 61, but I'm a huge U2 fan. I appreciate the humanitarian work you do, and I'm happy to help.

Happy Birthday to a fellow Taurus. You have inspired me through both your music and your activisim. So many celebrities do nothing more than draw negative attention through their popularity. It is so nice to have you out there not only using your celebrity to draw attention to this most important issue in our society, but also to actually ACT upon it. Keep up the good work man, and we your loyal fans will try and do the same. You are an inspiration to us all. Now go party like a rock star!

Happy Birthday Bono!

Happy Birthday Bono!!!!!!! I hope you have a good birthday and all your wishes come true!!

Happy Birthday Bono!
My God's blessings continue to find you and reward you for the work you do. It is your unselfish work that inspires others and finds it's way into your music. It is that music that draws us closer to each other. May you always remind others that we are ONE world and race. That by lifting our brothers up, we in return raise ourselves.

Happy Birthday!

Dear Bono,
What a joy it is to contribute to such a worthy cause and at the same time wish the singer of my favorite band for the past 28 years a very happy birthday!

I am making a donation in loving memory of my son, Jesse, whom I lost at birth 6 years ago. I pray that this contribution will in some small way help a child live. No mother should have to endure the loss of a child. That would dry my tears and make Jesse's life matter.
God bless you for all you do.
Love,
Lisa Z.
P.S. Edun rocks! My sons and I wear it.

Happy B-day, Bono! There are not enough words to thank you for the inspiration that you create in me. I have put it to good use, not just in wordly matters [ One and Oxfam ] but in my small seaside town near Boston [ fighting for a better education for the children with Stand For Children, and starting a local Jam Band ]. Thank you for being that little spark that helped ignite this flame! Keep listening to your Angels. Have a great year! Linda

Happy Birthday Bono!!!
I guess its my favorite gift i make every year because i know it wont finish in a closet!!!
Love and Peace

Thank you for all you do, Bono.

Happy birthday, dear Bono! I will be happy to donate to the African Well Fund. Not because of your efforts in Africa, but, just because it is the right thing to do. It's frightening that there are places in the world that don't have clean water to drink or bathe with. Enjoy your wonderful day and know that your efforts are appreciated world wide. Peace!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO! It is a pleasure to donate to a great cause, in honor of you! Because of your efforts, you've helped me realize how the gift of water can bring about huge change. I've been INSPI(RED) by you! Your another year older, but another year wiser...as always! Love, Doris,Victor, and Max and Mason Ferzetti

Another year already? Oh well :-)

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays Bono.
You have and continue to inspire me to play a part in bringing about changes to draw us all closer to be as ONE.

My soul loves your soul.
