How do I Arrange a Presidential Birthday Greeting?
The White House Greetings Office handles the requests for presidential greetings from U.S. citizens. Greetings are given for a variety of reasons, from births to anniversaries to Boy Scout and Girl Scout accomplishments, and, of course, birthdays. However, policy dictates that presidental birthday greetings can only be given to those 80 years old or older. Does this Spark an idea?
