Congratulations !But the article itself is funny! How obvious is that the twins are born on the same day haha"The Army said that the event became even more significant as the twins celebrated their 53rd birthdays also on the same day."

Couldn't it be that they were promoted on the day they were celebrating their 53rd birthday. Sometimes there are many perspectives.
