Tonight, Washington D.C is abuzz with spectacle as thousands line the streets outside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to wish their Commander in Chief a happy birthday on the eve of the special occasion. It's not every day that the leader of the free world turns 100 years old to the day. Since the birth of the nation, President Sloan is the only President to have lived so long, the oldest to still be in office, and doesn't look a day past forty!
From humble beginnings in 1948 Brooklyn, Cody Sloan is the son to Emma and Robert Sloan, the founders of Sloan Enterprises, which at the time was a fresh industrial upstart that specialized in carpentry. Since then, the company has gone on to become one of the worlds most important corporations as they've spread their interests across the board. For a brief time, President Sloan would have helped with the family business, but nothing swayed his interests more than the call of duty.
At eighteen years old, President Sloan enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he was first deployed to Vietnam just three and a half weeks after basic training. Earning a victory as he stood at the forefront just a few years later, Cody would move on to carry the United States of America through the Laotian Civil War, the Lebanon Crisis, the Congo Crisis, the Bay of Pigs, the Gulf War, the Bosnian War, and the war in Afghanistan -- to name a few.
Today, by intense demand, President Sloan finds a home in the White House. And tonight, a large crew is working around the clock to put together one of the most amazing celebrations this town's ever seen to honor the living legend, President Cody Sloan. Join us here at the Independence as we say,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISTER PRESIDENT!
