Dear Bradley
I will be offering my support to you far beyond your temporary unjust restriction from the not so free USA. However I will always think of your bravery and if there is anything I can do to make your days brighter I will. Art food music?Happy B-Day Bradley
Thank you. You are an inspiration to millions worldwide.
Greetings from cold Finland
I sincerely wish you all the best.Dear Bradley,
I wish I could do more for you than to write you an email wishing you a happy birthday (better than a Facebook ‘happy birthday : P )
I am 100% in your corner and support everything you have done. There are millions upon millions of people that support you.
Happy birthday again.Happy Birthday Bradley Manning,
Well, at least as happy it can be considering where you are. I am one of your millions of supporters and admirers around the world, a world which desperately needs to know what is going on in it. We thank you for letting us know some of the things those in power hide from the rest of us. Stay brave and steadfast. One day (soon I hope) you will be free. One day (soon I hope) the world will be free and you will be universally praised as a maker of that freedom.Dear Bradley,
I am an American living overseas and just wanted to take this time to thank you personally for the courage and moral values that you have shown to have. You are an amazing young man and every mother would be proud to have you as her son. These difficult years behind bars are honing your character and God only knows the strength and determination that this will add to you when you are released and can begin again in a new direction. I hope that you will have a special birthday despite the gloom and that there will be seeds of happiness in it. As of today I will add you to my prayers.Happy Birthday Bradley!
I know you haven´t been going through happy days, but I wish you the most happy birthday ever. You have plenty to be happy about, Bradley, because you are a true leader, you are what America should be all about. Your brave actions in carrying out your oath to support and defend the Constitution is enviable, by any standard. I spent eight years on active duty and two years in the reserve (1960 to 70) and you make my proud to be called a vet, very proud. Many guys have obtained medals in illegal and immoral wars (not their fault) – most for supporting actions in defiance of our Constitution and breaking national and international laws, while you have directly supported our Constitution and laws. I don´t know what I´d have done in your situation – I can only dream about it, while you actually did it.
I am truly sorry for what you´re going through, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making that decision. Thank you.
Hi Bradley, My best wishes on your 25th birthday. I’m a WWII Navy vet who appreciates you as a person of high principle and would be proud to have you as a grandson.
Bradley,
You have done the right thing and I thank you for that. I wish there were more like you because I know for a fact there are generals out there right now who know more of the truth that will die with them rather than show the courage you have already shown. God bless you and we stand behind you.
Happy Birthday, Bradley. You a brilliant ray of hope in this dark untruthful world. An American hero who deserves the best treatment and certainly not confinement of any kind.
Happy Birthday, Bradley Manning! Thank you for what you have done. Stay strong.
Happy Birthday, to a hero in my book.
Bradly Manning is a traitor and this piece of scum needs to face the firing sqaud.
Only cowards deny the truth.
I am sorry you do not want to face the truth and wake up. Shame on you for failing to realize that what he leaked were crimes of treason. I did not realize traitors liked to reveal themselves so openly. And surely if you would rather keep crimes of treason secret than you truly must be that which you accuse Bradley of being.
Sorry, but for me , you are more like a traitor. You betray the spirits of the constitution. By the way, people should be a traitor when the government is so corrupted that it sent its soldier to nonsense war field killing innocent people and covering those crimes by classifying the information and started to harm basic human rights both insider and outside the country. You betray the government but you’ll save the country.
The US is a terrorist. I don’t want tax money going to terrorists. That includes the “state department.” You, Randal, obviously, approve of US terrorism. This policy is what puts US citizens in danger. This is treason.
Happy Birthday to a hero.
You’ve showed the world what evil is done in secrecy.
We pray for your release.
Be well,
Dean Muesing
Happy Birthday to a brave young man who has followed the dictates of his conscience.
I hope you have received my card. Here is another message of best wishes for your birthday and the future from your friend.

Happy Birthday Bradley! I have your picture above my desk as your courage and ethics are an inspiration to peace loving peoples all over the world, and also to those of us in the United States who call our leadership to accountability. I pray for you and I wish you kindness on your birthday.
Sending you so much love from Toronto Canada, Bradley, and from the bottom of lots of Canadian hearts on your 25th birthday! In Iraq, you made a choice to take a stand for justice and peace and humanity, and we thank you so much for your courage and strength! Sending you support as we stand with you now and in the days ahead. Will keep working to make sure that next year, you’ll celebrate in freedom! Peace, hugs and love, Charlotte
Best wishes from the UK Bradley!
The world is a better place because you are in it.
Happy Birthday, Bradley. What you did was right, never forget that, and shame on the United States of Amerika for pointing the finger at you and screaming Traitor while trying to cover up its war crimes. Support from Denmark.
You did the right thing, Bradley. I am sorry that you are suffering so much for it. But you are a hero in my mind. This world is so crazy, it gives me comfort to believe that all is not as it appears, and it is about more than just one lifetime on this planet. People like Mitt Romney, rich beyond all dreams, a bid for presidency, yet I do not think he is winning. It only appears that way. He compromises values and freedoms, and profits from suffering on a regular basis. You, sitting in jail, it looks like you have lost, but you haven’t. You are a winner, you are the hero. You didn’t compromise your sense of what is right to keep yourself safe. And if you leave this life having suffered for that, I believe you will be rewarded by your growth and strength. I don’t know how, but I do believe it. I don’t know if I would have been as brave as you, but you inspire me to be, so thank you.
Dear Bradley,
A belated happy birthday! Please know that your courage has inspired the world, and has made it a better place. Thank you for all you have done. We continue to hope and to work for your speedy release.
In solidarity,
Tom
Best wishes on your birthday and thank you for your sacrifice.You have support from all around the world .Very few have the courage to expose the atrocities commited by mentally unstable people and their leaders .Only cowards hide the truth and dont speak out .This I dont have respect for .you knew right from wrong and exposed the wrong god bless you for your courage and helping to end this invasion that has killed and maimed so many of our soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians just to keep the oil machine running.
I’m honored to share the same birthday with a true hero for freedom, liberty, and the common man. It’s a travesty that you remain at the mercy of a corrupt, unjust system.
Sorry I missed your birthday. You have a lot of people behind the actions you took and I fear too many of us have failed to show our gratitude for your actions. I pray the Lord will keep you safe. I do believe in truth, I do believe truth will win, just sometimes it seems she gets slowed down from all the deception and darkness in this world. You are a light unto a dark world, your voice and convictions rational in a world that has been turned upside down by double speak and dark forces. This is a battle of the spirits and we already know how that ends, God and truth do win. Keep the faith young man, maintain the convictions of your heart. Cause like they say those that fail to stand up for something will fall for anything. Thank God you are not in that group. You have followed the word and allowed your light to shine in a dark world. God Bless you. You are a patriot and a hero. Thank you again for standing up and being counted.
respectfully. Peace to you. May God continue to keep you.
Bradley,
You represent what is GOOD in this world. You are so young, yet so brave. You honored the oaths you took to serve your country and the Constitution and for that I Thank You!
You love Humanity and it shows!
As has been said by many, you are an inspiration to millions and millions and we are your fans and supporters.
Happy Belated Birthday and may you be free from this insane harrassment and come home very soon!!

Happy Birthday Bradley from here in Sydney Australia, you are in our thoughts and pray that you are in good spirits. As Edmund Burke once said “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” thank you for standing up and fighting that evil.
You should not feel alone, we support you and admire your courage
May God bless you and give you the strength to get through this evil as perpetrated by the US
Dear Bradley,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for having sacrificed yourself for the sake of truth. You are a true American hero, and let no one say otherwise. Maybe in several decades from now, our nation will become open enough, so that your heroism will be acknowledged.
