Bono's Birthday Card - 2006
The Bono Birthday Well Fundraiser has drawn to a close - thank you very much for your donations and your entries.
Happy Birthday Bono!
I hope you have enjoyed reading your fourth birthday card from supporters of the AWF. You continue to enlighten many people and it is such an amazing thing to watch and be a part of. Thank you!
Hi Bono,
Happy Birthday to you and your daughter Jordan!
Thank you for the wonderful music you make and that you reminded me of the people that need our support soo much!
I had forgotten about them, lived only for my own comfort, and I felt bad, very bad! But you reminded me that the reason why we are all here is to bring light into somebody elses life... - while we're here - and now I feel good again and I hope you'll make your "Vision 2015"!!!
Thank you Bono!
Love Ingrid
Words can never express how much you have done for so many people the world over. Lucky enough to hear you speak in Dallas and sing Happy Birthday Dear Bono. Take care.
With much love & thanks,

You inspire so many to do better in their own lives.....thank you for giving that to me. Hope you and Jordan have a great birthday. You, and U2's music, will always have a special place in my heart.

Most bees are busy searching nectar.
But not this one.
This busy B has not found what he's looking for just yet*
He's hopefull he once will though.
Won't give up.
He gives.
He gives.
He gives himself away.
Time to give something back.
To those who need it.
'Cause sometimes you can't make it on your own.
You say: We don't want your money. We want your voice.
I say: Thank you for your voice.
Thank you for educating my mind, your mind, our mind, their mind.
Thank you for everything that you do.
*Equality and justice for all,
Much love,

Bono, thank you for having the courage to speak for those with no voice.
Happy Birthday!
I love you!
Bono, c'est un plaisir pour moi de participer encore cette année à cette levée de fonds en l'honneur de ton anniversaire.
Je profite de l'occasion qui m'est donnée pour remercier U2 pour les deux très belles soirées que j'ai passées au Centre Bell le 26 et le 28 novembre dernier. J'en suis sorti le souffle coupée les deux soirs. Je vous suis très reconnaissante de m'avoir donné la chance de découvrir le groupe montéalais Arcade Fire que je ne connaissais pas très bien.
Je te laisse sur ces mots d'une chanson québecoise que l'on chante lors d'anniversaires.
''Mon cher Bono, c'est à ton tour de te laisser
parler d'amour...''. Bonne Fête!

If this art
is not sun and rain and stars
then nothing is.
If these patterns
are not the great Tao
then nothing is.
You are nothing
but soul.
If these words
are not truth
then nothing is.
Happy Birthday Bono!!
Thanks for a great year 2005, I got to see you twice! Dublin and Munich! Remember the big wave and screams as you walked out and waved in Dublin on June 25th!? I do!! That was me! And lots of others too of course!
And thanks for all the work you did in 2005, building hope for our world and for all you continue to do.
Blessings,

Hi Bono,

I'm currently reading the book Walk On, The Spiritual Journey of U2. So far it's amazing!!!
Your music and movement in the ONE Campaign inspires me. Keep doing what you are doing!!!
During the Elevation tour in Miami I Felt God's presence in the building!!! It was Incredible!!!
God Bless you ,your family,your music and all of us !!! CCoka
You are truly inspiring. Thank you.
Happy Birthday Bono! And to your daughter too.
I could be your daughter, I'm 16, but I love you for more than just that. You are a true role model for people like me who want to change the world. I love your music, I love your words, I love you for who you are and for what you've done to make the world better. As you said, "We are one, but we're not the same, we get to carry each other." With you leading the way, we can do just that. I LOVE YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Birthday,
Every single day great things are done by ordinary people. Thank you for inspiring this ordinary person. God Bless, be well.
Bono -
You are such a great example of not only how to give, but how to live. God gave us life to live abundantly and you do that so well. We should all take a page from your book.
Happy Birthday!

Dear Bono:
I think I may be one of the only people who have not yet met you in DC on the Hill. Keep up the good work and enjoy your birthday.
The most important thing is to remember how important you are to your friends and family. From personal experience, they could be gone at any time, so always take the time to spend with them.
Debbie
Happiest of Birthday wishes Bono
My wish for you is that you will always have the strength,courage and wisdom to carry on doing all of the wonderful work that you do. To always carry with you the compassion for those in the world that truly need it so that they may always know how fortunate they are to have you on their side, speaking out for those who can't. You deserve everything good on your special day and always.
I have to tell you that I had a fabulous time at the Vertigo concert on Sept. 12/05 in Toronto, Canada-it was a blast!!! Spectacular!!
Best wishes always

P.S. Maybe you can send a very early birthday wish to Larry since we share the exact same lucky day-that right! October 31rst!! Now I have to tell you my birthday wish-To one day hear U2 perform my favorite song "All I want is you" live but that might be a long time coming since you guys don't come to Canada very often-we will have do something about that-Canada is a great country-you should visit more often-in your spare time of, course!!!
Have an absolutely fantastic spectacular birthday!!!
Bono, I´m here to congratulate you for your birthday and wish you a lot of good things for this one more year that you will pass here with us.

Thank you for being such a 'pest'. Thank you for the music, thank you for the inspiration, thank you for wonderful concert memories. Please do me a favor and make sure to take care of yourself, okay?
Oh and thank you for the hug outside MSG on 10/10/05 - I forgot to say thank you then because I was completely speechless by that point! :)
Have a wonderful birthday - and many, many more. <3
Happy birthday, Bono. Hope you have a fabulous day!
Happy Birthday, Bono! I actually got to say that to you in person last year. :o) You are a true inspiration and it's a shame there aren't more people like you. I cannot begin to tell you how much U2's music has meant to me and been the scrapbook of my life. It's been over 20 years now. You have helped me to understand a lot in this world...I cannot thank you enough. Have a wonderful birthday with your beautiful family.
Thank you Bono for being a hero of mine.
Happiest of Birthdays to you, Bono! Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for being an inspiration in a time with a great deal of hopelessness and dispair. Thank you for giving hope to so many in Africa in need, and to so many around the world in need. Thank you for inspiring so many "music fans" to reach out where we may not have ever have dared to reach before. Thank you for touching me with your music. You have inspired me in many ways with your beautiful words. May every day of your life truly be a "Beautiful Day". Love and Peace, Jen
On ne te le dira jamais assez: merci pour ce que tu fais, tu es un homme merveilleux! Tes actions pour l'Afrique ont rendu des dizaines de personnes heureuses dans ce monde, MERCI.
Ta musique est tout aussi sublime, bravo à Adam, Larry et The Edge, qui ont un talent immense. J'ai beaucoup aimé ton livre, que m'a meilleure amie m'a offert pour mes 16 ans, en le lisant j'ai découvert la sensibilité mais aussi l'arrogance d'une rock star! Ne change pas, les hommes comme toi ne courent pas les rues, je t'aime, j'aime U2, j'aime le Monde, j'aime la Vie...
Lucie, Strasbourg, France
You really are the BEST, and you made my year last year. Why don't they make more men like you? Thanks for all you do. Happy happy birthday.

mille merci pour tout ce que tu as fais pour le monde, ce que tu construis tous les jours et tout ce que tu feras dans le futur, il en faudrait une dizaine comme toi pour ouvrir les yeux de chaque humain.... mais tu es là c'est déjà pas mal,

au plaisir de pouvoir te rencontrer un jour et te remercier pour tout...

Thanks for still asking the questions I asked when I was a kid. I listened to the people who told me there was nothing I could do about large scale poverty and sickness. Thanks for not listening to the nay sayers. Love from Sydney, Australia, Katie

Dear Bono,
Best wishes for a happy and successful year. Thanks for all you accomplished in 2005, which happily included fulfilling my dream of seeing U2 live (MSG May 21st). I've been a fan since '83 and spent my 21st birthday watching Live Aid, but I had to wait until I was 41 to make it happen. May the dreams you have on hold come true for you. All the best,
Ronda
Happy Birthday Bono! People have asked me if your celebrity status helps affect change, and I am a personal testament to that. I did not know or care about the issues in Africa until you became passionate about them yourself. Now, I dedicate most of my free time to them. Thanks for keeping us responsible. You are the hero we need in a hero-less time.
Best Wishes,
Amie and Jonathan Glass

P.S. Thanks for all your amazing music too!

I can't possibly give back to you as much happiness but hopefully with this small gift of donation and an endless promise to stand up for this situation on my part will bring you a small piece of happiness on this, your birthday. May you have a wonderful day and may the coming year see all your wishes come true.

As well, Thank-you for U2, especially for the song 'Pride in the name of Love'. I have loved this song since 1984, and when I finally heard it live at a U2 concert - I cried. Music doesn't get better than this.
Your amazing, have a wonderful birthday

Your relentlessness is very inspiring!
We took friends of ours to your first show in Montreal last year. It was their first show (our 11th!!), and after the show they said that " one leaves a U2 show wanting to be a better person "
THAT SUMS IT UP!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BONO!
Together we will complete the promise!!!

PS: happy birthday miss HEWSON "jojo"
Dear Bono,
Last time I saw you, we were waving the white flags in the land of the midnight sun. I'd like to assure you, that VertiGothenburg//2005 was a really special moment for U2's Swedish fans - maybe your best concert here ever.
Which is as good a proof as anything that there's nothing bad to be said about people getting older - not even rock stars. The next time I'll see you (Honolulu?) we will both be a year older and hopefully we're going to have the time of our life, not despite but because of that. I'll bring the white flag if you bring the band.
In the mean time, I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday! I admire you as a musician, poet and a great singer, but I also admire your tireless efforts to try and help the poorest of the poor. You rock on so many different levels, I guess I'll sum it up with; I admire you as a person.
Love & Peace

I wish you Bono a very joyous birthday. What an awesome opportunity to give you a birthday gift that benefits you, myself and brothers and sisters I do not know. The world is a better place with you here. You have inspired me and now I know why I am drawn toward you, U2's music and Africa. I think God is calling me to some type of action. First it was One, then the Night Walkers piece on Oprah. I went to bed haunted with the notion that those kids were walking as my kids slept upstairs well, feed, clothed. Today I checked the U2 fan site and here was Africa again.
Thank Allie also for the endless work she does with the Chernobyl work. My family escaped from Hungary during the 1956 revolution but other family members stayed and endured communism. Two of those aunts died suddenly and very young and it all points to Chernobyl.

A Birthday Prayer for Bono from "The Valley of Vision -A Collection of Puritan Prayers" by Arthur Bennett
A Disciple's Renewal-
O My Saviour,
help me.
I am so slow to learn, so prone to forget, so weak to climb;
I am in the foothills when I should be in the heights;
I am pained by my graceless heart,
my prayerless days,
my poverty of love,
my sloth in the heavenly race,
my sullied conscience,
my wasted hours,
my unspent opportunities.
I am blind while light shines around me:
take the scales from my eyes,
grind to dust the evil heart of unbelief.
Make it my cheifest joy to study thee,
meditate on thee,
gaze on thee,
sit like Mary at thy feet,
lean like John on thy breast,
appeal like Peter to thy love,
count like Paul all things dung.
Give me increase and progress in grace so that there may be;
more decision in my character,
more vigour in my purposes,
more ELEVATION in my life,
more fervour in my devotion,
more constancy in my zeal.
As I have a position in the world,
keep me from making the world my position;
May I never seek in the creature what can be found only in the creator;
Let not faith cease from seeking thee until it vanishes into sight.
Ride forth in me, thou king of kings and lord of lords, that I may live victoriously, and in victory attain my end.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the inspiration!
Love Always, Kristin
Feliz Cumpleaños Bono!!

Happy Birthday to you, Bono!
My youngest son, Sammy, is 4 years old and wants you to know that he loves your music and sings loudly and dances enthusiatically to "Vertigo." It goes without saying in our household, and in Ann Arbor Michigan for that matter, that I thoroughly enjoy U2 as well! Most especially my family appreciates what you are doing for the world! Sammy and I wanted to let you know that we made a donation for a well in your name. We look forward to U2's next visit to Detriot! Much LOVE and PEACE to you, Ali, and your children~
Lots of Love and God bless you!

I have been a fan of U2 since the first Live Aid-I have been hooked ever since. U2 and Bono have been part of the soundtrack of my life and I finally got to experience myself my first U2 concert in Cleveland, OH in December, 2005. I was looking forward to it for so long-years-because I had missed out on other tours. I was not let down. I was blown away-It truly was a magical night. Bono-thanks to you and the other memebers of U2 for the outstanding music you give us and thank you to you for being an example of what a person can become. You truely are a hero.

Dear Bono,
Breithlá sona duit!
The Vertigo Album meant much to me this past year, since I too lost my father suddenly at 62, in Dec 2004. Your album help me feel some of my inner deep emotions and still is. My father was a really true lover of music. He loved Elvis, Rock N Roll & Blues and also Rap sometimes :). He taught me many things but the most important one was is Love of music and Peace. You truly inspire great emotions of love when I see or hear you and your band. I feel sometimes like a teen even if I'm 2X that age :). I saw your concert in November in Montreal, and that night will always be in my memory until my last days. I particurlarly liked the video of a man walking alone...
Your actions also inspire me. I wrote to many of my political representatives to make them increase the help to Africa even if Paul MArtin let us down this time... We will make a difference the more we are and the more we do!
If ever you pass by Montreal,give me a ring and I will gladly make you a nice supper or have a drink with you Sláinte!
Have a super birthday and all the best to you!
Go n-éirí an bóthar leat! Síochán leat!
A bientôt j'espère!

Happy Birthday...from one of our Brazilian fan.
You are one of the most Beautiful people I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your music and inspiration, the spituality, all the great shows I saw last year, playing Walk On in Detroit it brought tears to my eyes, But most of all the compassion for others, your voice IS making a difference.
Let us know how we can help were listening...
So Much Love,
Irish Kat in Michigan
I've been a fan since "Boy". I am proud to support your work Bono - keep it up - your actions are as inspiring as your words!
Thanks for your amazing music - it is theraputic.
Happy birthday! Speech, speech!!
Thanks for being a role model, an inspiration, an encouragement, a hope to carry on and you're always there to lend a hand in every- sorry. All Elvis lyrics aside, I'm proud to be a fan. Your example has taught me grace and integrity, and led me to grow spiritually and artistically. I like your hair, too.
I'd like you to know that your background has encouraged me in starting my business no matter how small and how awful I may be. (Don't quote me on that.) I'm the age you were when U2 began and I've done very well; without you and your ambition, I might not have thought I could pull it off.
"Sixth and lastly," thank you for taking the time to read all these messages. Happy birthday, Bono.
It is an honor to wish you a happy birthday. You have been blessed with knowing your purpose, and what God's designed for you. Thank you for being so generous with sharing all that you do with all of us. It has been fun getting to follow you and your career for 20 years!
Happy Birthday Bono! You guys are awesome! I am only 14 and i love your music SO MUCH! your all i listen too!!(iam really serious)
I hope to make in to one of your guys concerts and meet you all my self!!

FOR PAUL HEWSON - HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY
This is the moment to give you, my dear Paul, my “GRAZIE” for all that you made in this time.
It has been a year of war, of death and desperation for the poorest people of the world because this persons are becoming always more poorest. However it has been a year with more FAITH. I pray everyday for the people like you, like Karol Woityla, like Madre Teresa of Calcutta because they give us the way for increasing our faith. Faith and love are the road for peace.
Thank you very much Paul. Thank you for all that you have done for us this year. Thanks for your activism for African people, for the HIV cancer, for your battle with politicians, managers in this important umanitarian question, thanks for your presence in much talk-shows and radio interviews.
God, surely, is blessing you.
One kiss to your family from mine (Laura, Alberto and by my new son Riccardo).
A special kiss to Ali, Jordan, Eve, Eliah and John.
You are every day in my hearth.
If you’ll need my help please contact me everytime.
My best greetings to all your staff especially for Cecilia, Fernando, Jenifer…… of U2.com.
I love you forever.

Bono,
Thank you for all that you do - you're spectacular and the world is a better place because you're in it.
Think about it this way - just the celebration of your birthday is saving lives. At the rate we're going, by the time you're 50, everyone who needs access to clean water we'll have it!
I'll drink to that - and to you.
Cheers,

From Phoenix, Arizona - God's Country. To people in another country where it sometimes appears God is not paying much attention.
We are grateful you are bringing his and our attention to this situation that WE can fix.
You have done so much for so many. Be proud of this.
In your own words: "My God doesn't need any cash, Mister." But Africa certainly does. Glad we could help.
Happy birthday,

We wish you the happiest birthday ever along with much happiness, success, love and good health. You have been an inspiration to both young and old in our families. Keep on writing, speaking, singing, performing and helping those less fortunate. You have made our world a better place. Happy Birthday to you and Jordan!! Love, Sue, Bernie, Bernice, Laurie, Harvey, Jodi, Dan, Marni, Dan and two year old Jordan and Ryan
Often your music or something you've said has brought me out of cynicism and unbelief. You have been an inspiration to me for the past ten years and I thank God that there are people in the world like you. Thank you for continuing to wake me up to the suffering in God's world and thank you for empowering me to be God's hands and feet.
Happy B'Day Bono - you have managed to let the fans 'in' in such a way that we all feel like we know you, (and we love you). If I could project the impact you've had on my life I would - but there is no way a few words could do this - so I will simply say a most heart felt Thank you. Take care of Edge for us and I'll wait patiently for my chance to see you on stage again (I'm on perpetual standby to Hawaii :D ). Love and Peace. Jennifer
Happy Birthday Bono!
U2 is a big part of my life. I hope that you`ll keep on the good work in the music-buiness, as well as charity. I`m going start some work in Norway, to collect moneys to Africa, inspired by you and your band. You`re God`s best son, mate.

Hello Hello Bono I am a girl in place called France...
Happy Birthday Bono and all my best wishes for all that you undertake. I live near Chablis and I give you an appointment for a tasting to clink glasses together for your 46 years birthday.
You are an incredible character with the eyes of the whole world as much of a point of considering musical with the group that humanly. And for all of this I would like to congratulate you. It is difficult to explain you the emotion why you transmit to us.
Thanks a lot and sincerely for everything.
I would like to believe that ONE day I will meet you and this day will be the most beautiful event in my life. The dream is the direction of my life.
Thanks Monsieur Bono and take care of you and your family.

Happy, Happy Birthday Bono!
I had the opportunity of attending the U2 show in Cleveland, OH on December 10, 2005. It was an awesome time- and I was wearing my ONE bracelet.
Thank you for never tiring of doing good for the benefit of "the least of these". I am proud of you for taking your platform as a celebrity and choosing to use it in the way you have. Continue to stay in the Word and your heart will stay tender. As with each of us, it is so hard to put aside our selfish desires and to have the mind of Christ. Keep on keeping on the narrow path.
Whenever I listen to a U2 album, I remember to pray for you, the band and your marriages.
Have a great birthday and an Awesome year!

Happy Birthday Bono! I have been so blessed by
your music!! I am especially fond of "Walk On"
and I am now reading that book as well. My husband, Richmond, is a MEGA fan of U2 and has
introduced me to you "again", since the 80's
when we were teen-agers. We recently went to
your concert in Atlanta in November 2005. I was
really "blown away" by just the tone/mood in the
arena. I could sense the Holy Spirit's presence in such a mighty way and I have been praying for
you and the rest of U2 daily since then! We feel
like you are one of our best friends. Thanks for
following the Lord's voice in helping to give Africa a voice on earth! God bless you!
By the way, we would absolutely love to chat with
you sometime.
Walk on....

Happy Birthday to you and your daughter Jordan!
Thank you for the wonderful music you make and that you reminded me of the people that need our support soo much!
I had forgotten about them, lived only for my own comfort, and I felt bad, very bad! But you reminded me that the reason why we are all here is to bring light into somebody elses life... - while we're here - and now I feel good again and I hope you'll make your "Vision 2015"!!!
Thank you Bono!

From elise embryHappy Birthday!
I love you!
Bono, c'est un plaisir pour moi de participer encore cette année à cette levée de fonds en l'honneur de ton anniversaire.
Je profite de l'occasion qui m'est donnée pour remercier U2 pour les deux très belles soirées que j'ai passées au Centre Bell le 26 et le 28 novembre dernier. J'en suis sorti le souffle coupée les deux soirs. Je vous suis très reconnaissante de m'avoir donné la chance de découvrir le groupe montéalais Arcade Fire que je ne connaissais pas très bien.
Je te laisse sur ces mots d'une chanson québecoise que l'on chante lors d'anniversaires.
''Mon cher Bono, c'est à ton tour de te laisser
parler d'amour...''. Bonne Fête!

Dear Bono:
I think I may be one of the only people who have not yet met you in DC on the Hill. Keep up the good work and enjoy your birthday.
The most important thing is to remember how important you are to your friends and family. From personal experience, they could be gone at any time, so always take the time to spend with them.

From vadella pascalPS: happy birthday miss HEWSON "jojo"
Dear Bono,
Last time I saw you, we were waving the white flags in the land of the midnight sun. I'd like to assure you, that VertiGothenburg//2005 was a really special moment for U2's Swedish fans - maybe your best concert here ever.
Which is as good a proof as anything that there's nothing bad to be said about people getting older - not even rock stars. The next time I'll see you (Honolulu?) we will both be a year older and hopefully we're going to have the time of our life, not despite but because of that. I'll bring the white flag if you bring the band.
In the mean time, I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday! I admire you as a musician, poet and a great singer, but I also admire your tireless efforts to try and help the poorest of the poor. You rock on so many different levels, I guess I'll sum it up with; I admire you as a person.
Love & Peace

I wish you Bono a very joyous birthday. What an awesome opportunity to give you a birthday gift that benefits you, myself and brothers and sisters I do not know. The world is a better place with you here. You have inspired me and now I know why I am drawn toward you, U2's music and Africa. I think God is calling me to some type of action. First it was One, then the Night Walkers piece on Oprah. I went to bed haunted with the notion that those kids were walking as my kids slept upstairs well, feed, clothed. Today I checked the U2 fan site and here was Africa again.
Thank Allie also for the endless work she does with the Chernobyl work. My family escaped from Hungary during the 1956 revolution but other family members stayed and endured communism. Two of those aunts died suddenly and very young and it all points to Chernobyl.

From Melissa StettenA Birthday Prayer for Bono from "The Valley of Vision -A Collection of Puritan Prayers" by Arthur Bennett
A Disciple's Renewal-
O My Saviour,
help me.
I am so slow to learn, so prone to forget, so weak to climb;
I am in the foothills when I should be in the heights;
I am pained by my graceless heart,
my prayerless days,
my poverty of love,
my sloth in the heavenly race,
my sullied conscience,
my wasted hours,
my unspent opportunities.
I am blind while light shines around me:
take the scales from my eyes,
grind to dust the evil heart of unbelief.
Make it my cheifest joy to study thee,
meditate on thee,
gaze on thee,
sit like Mary at thy feet,
lean like John on thy breast,
appeal like Peter to thy love,
count like Paul all things dung.
Give me increase and progress in grace so that there may be;
more decision in my character,
more vigour in my purposes,
more ELEVATION in my life,
more fervour in my devotion,
more constancy in my zeal.
As I have a position in the world,
keep me from making the world my position;
May I never seek in the creature what can be found only in the creator;
Let not faith cease from seeking thee until it vanishes into sight.
Ride forth in me, thou king of kings and lord of lords, that I may live victoriously, and in victory attain my end.
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the inspiration!
From Kristin CrandallLove Always, Kristin

From Melany RauboltMy youngest son, Sammy, is 4 years old and wants you to know that he loves your music and sings loudly and dances enthusiatically to "Vertigo." It goes without saying in our household, and in Ann Arbor Michigan for that matter, that I thoroughly enjoy U2 as well! Most especially my family appreciates what you are doing for the world! Sammy and I wanted to let you know that we made a donation for a well in your name. We look forward to U2's next visit to Detriot! Much LOVE and PEACE to you, Ali, and your children~

I have been a fan of U2 since the first Live Aid-I have been hooked ever since. U2 and Bono have been part of the soundtrack of my life and I finally got to experience myself my first U2 concert in Cleveland, OH in December, 2005. I was looking forward to it for so long-years-because I had missed out on other tours. I was not let down. I was blown away-It truly was a magical night. Bono-thanks to you and the other memebers of U2 for the outstanding music you give us and thank you to you for being an example of what a person can become. You truely are a hero.

Dear Bono,
Breithlá sona duit!
The Vertigo Album meant much to me this past year, since I too lost my father suddenly at 62, in Dec 2004. Your album help me feel some of my inner deep emotions and still is. My father was a really true lover of music. He loved Elvis, Rock N Roll & Blues and also Rap sometimes :). He taught me many things but the most important one was is Love of music and Peace. You truly inspire great emotions of love when I see or hear you and your band. I feel sometimes like a teen even if I'm 2X that age :). I saw your concert in November in Montreal, and that night will always be in my memory until my last days. I particurlarly liked the video of a man walking alone...
Your actions also inspire me. I wrote to many of my political representatives to make them increase the help to Africa even if Paul MArtin let us down this time... We will make a difference the more we are and the more we do!
If ever you pass by Montreal,give me a ring and I will gladly make you a nice supper or have a drink with you Sláinte!
Have a super birthday and all the best to you!
Go n-éirí an bóthar leat! Síochán leat!

You are one of the most Beautiful people I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your music and inspiration, the spituality, all the great shows I saw last year, playing Walk On in Detroit it brought tears to my eyes, But most of all the compassion for others, your voice IS making a difference.

I've been a fan since "Boy". I am proud to support your work Bono - keep it up - your actions are as inspiring as your words!
From Sheri WThanks for your amazing music - it is theraputic.
Happy birthday! Speech, speech!!
Thanks for being a role model, an inspiration, an encouragement, a hope to carry on and you're always there to lend a hand in every- sorry. All Elvis lyrics aside, I'm proud to be a fan. Your example has taught me grace and integrity, and led me to grow spiritually and artistically. I like your hair, too.
I'd like you to know that your background has encouraged me in starting my business no matter how small and how awful I may be. (Don't quote me on that.) I'm the age you were when U2 began and I've done very well; without you and your ambition, I might not have thought I could pull it off.
"Sixth and lastly," thank you for taking the time to read all these messages. Happy birthday, Bono.
From LaurylIt is an honor to wish you a happy birthday. You have been blessed with knowing your purpose, and what God's designed for you. Thank you for being so generous with sharing all that you do with all of us. It has been fun getting to follow you and your career for 20 years!

FOR PAUL HEWSON - HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY
This is the moment to give you, my dear Paul, my “GRAZIE” for all that you made in this time.
It has been a year of war, of death and desperation for the poorest people of the world because this persons are becoming always more poorest. However it has been a year with more FAITH. I pray everyday for the people like you, like Karol Woityla, like Madre Teresa of Calcutta because they give us the way for increasing our faith. Faith and love are the road for peace.
Thank you very much Paul. Thank you for all that you have done for us this year. Thanks for your activism for African people, for the HIV cancer, for your battle with politicians, managers in this important umanitarian question, thanks for your presence in much talk-shows and radio interviews.
God, surely, is blessing you.
One kiss to your family from mine (Laura, Alberto and by my new son Riccardo).
A special kiss to Ali, Jordan, Eve, Eliah and John.
You are every day in my hearth.
If you’ll need my help please contact me everytime.
My best greetings to all your staff especially for Cecilia, Fernando, Jenifer…… of U2.com.
I love you forever.

Thank you for continuing to wake me up to the suffering in God's world and thank you for empowering me to be God's hands and feet.
From Megan McClureHappy B'Day Bono - you have managed to let the fans 'in' in such a way that we all feel like we know you, (and we love you). If I could project the impact you've had on my life I would - but there is no way a few words could do this - so I will simply say a most heart felt Thank you. Take care of Edge for us and I'll wait patiently for my chance to see you on stage again (I'm on perpetual standby to Hawaii :D ). Love and Peace. Jennifer

Hello Hello Bono I am a girl in place called France...
Happy Birthday Bono and all my best wishes for all that you undertake. I live near Chablis and I give you an appointment for a tasting to clink glasses together for your 46 years birthday.
You are an incredible character with the eyes of the whole world as much of a point of considering musical with the group that humanly. And for all of this I would like to congratulate you. It is difficult to explain you the emotion why you transmit to us.
Thanks a lot and sincerely for everything.
I would like to believe that ONE day I will meet you and this day will be the most beautiful event in my life. The dream is the direction of my life.
Thanks Monsieur Bono and take care of you and your family.

From Nicole WoodardHappy, Happy Birthday Bono!
I had the opportunity of attending the U2 show in Cleveland, OH on December 10, 2005. It was an awesome time- and I was wearing my ONE bracelet.
Thank you for never tiring of doing good for the benefit of "the least of these". I am proud of you for taking your platform as a celebrity and choosing to use it in the way you have. Continue to stay in the Word and your heart will stay tender. As with each of us, it is so hard to put aside our selfish desires and to have the mind of Christ. Keep on keeping on the narrow path.
Whenever I listen to a U2 album, I remember to pray for you, the band and your marriages.
Have a great birthday and an Awesome year!
From Jacquelyn PlatekHappy Birthday and thanks for the continued inspiration!
Cheers!

From dana pabstDana
Happy Birthday Bono! I have been so blessed by
your music!! I am especially fond of "Walk On"
and I am now reading that book as well. My husband, Richmond, is a MEGA fan of U2 and has
introduced me to you "again", since the 80's
when we were teen-agers. We recently went to
your concert in Atlanta in November 2005. I was
really "blown away" by just the tone/mood in the
arena. I could sense the Holy Spirit's presence in such a mighty way and I have been praying for
you and the rest of U2 daily since then! We feel
like you are one of our best friends. Thanks for
following the Lord's voice in helping to give Africa a voice on earth! God bless you!
By the way, we would absolutely love to chat with
you sometime.
Walk on....
From Beckie TruexHau`oli la hanau Bono!
