Dear Bono,

Your social activism is always a great contribution to a more human world and you inspire all of us to care about those who are less fortunate. Thank you for all the effort, passion and creativity you dedicate to your music and humanitarian work. I wish you much luck, health, success and joy for the upcoming year and I hope to hear some great new U2 songs soon.

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Bono. Each year donations help to bring clean drinking water to more people. The ripple effect of your kindness can be seen in these wells. Enjoy your day!
Love & Peace,
Debbie Jo




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

Always love to wish you a very Happy Birthday Bono!! I hope every year more and more wells are built in your honor today and every day! God Bless!




Happy Birthday Bono and many blessings on your birthday and in your new year!




Happy Birthday, Bono!

Thank you for your music, your tireless efforts for the less fortunate and for teaching me that I can help change the world. Here is hoping one day (soon!) we will no longer have to sing this song and that the dream becomes a reailty.

Sabina




My dearest Bono, I hope I'll meet you someday. But today I wish a very happy birthday :-)
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




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!!




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!




I hope you enjoy a lovely birthday among family and friends. Thank you for raising awareness of so many inequities in the world and challenging us all to help. And thank you for the music!




Feliz Cumpleaños Bono :)
