Rubio wishes the Icelandic people a happy birthday

Marco Rubio, the United States Secretary of State, sent a message to Icelanders on the occasion of the 82nd anniversary of the founding of the Icelandic republic via Facebook. He expressed hope for continued successful cooperation between the two countries. In his message, he mentioned the 75-year-old defense agreement between the U.S. and Iceland, which has ensured stability in the North Atlantic region. He also highlighted recent developments in Iceland, particularly in energy and technology, as opportunities for further cooperation.

Róbert Þór er tólf ára í dag.

Þjóðhátíðardagurinn er sérstakur fyrir flestalla landsmenn. Hann er þó einstaklega sérstakur fyrir Róbert Þór Nelson þar sem hann á afmæli sama dag.

Í ár fagnar hann tólf árum.

Foreldrar Róberts, þau Lee Nelson og Alda Brynja Birgisdóttir, stofnuðu Sirkus Íslands saman árið 2006. Það verður því að teljast ótrúleg tilviljun að Róbert hafi fæðst á annasamasta degi foreldra sinna.

Þrjár sýningar á Snæfellsnesi

„Þetta er alveg fáranlega fyndið dæmi,“ segir Lee í samtali við mbl.is.

„Í morgun til dæmis vaknaði ég og gaf syni mínum afmælisgjöf og sendi mynd af honum til fjölskyldu minnar í Ástralíu. Svo kvaddi ég og fór út á Snæfellsnes þar sem ég var með þrjár sýningar.“

Lee kemur iðulega fram undir nafninu Wally trúður og því er skiljanlegt að nóg sé um að vera hjá honum á þjóðhátíðardaginn.

Hann segir daginn afar sérstakan fyrir fjölskylduna og minnist þess þegar Róbert var yngri og hélt að allir landsmenn kæmu saman til að fagna afmælisdeginum hans á ári hverju.

Róbert stóð vaktina í sölutjaldinu

Róbert varði deginum með mömmu sinni þar sem þau sáu um söluvagn á 17. júní hátíðinni í Hafnarfirði.

„Hann er alltaf með okkur hér í sölutjaldinu,“ segir Alda í samtali við mbl.is og segir að Róberti finnist það afar gaman.

„Við vöknuðum klukkan sjö í morgun og gerðum pönnukökur og gáfum gjafir,“ segir hún að lokum.

Thought everyone was celebrating his birthday on June 17th.

Róbert Þór Nelson, a 12-year-old boy, celebrates his birthday on June 17th, which coincides with Iceland's National Day. His parents, Lee Nelson and Alda Brynja Birgisdóttir, founded Circus Iceland in 2006. The article highlights how Róbert's birthday aligns with the national holiday, noting that he used to believe everyone in Iceland would gather to celebrate his birthday every year when he was younger. This year, Róbert helped his mother at the souvenir stand during the National Day celebrations in Reykjavik.

Bias read (Center): The article focuses on a cultural event and personal celebration without any political commentary or framing. It provides factual information about Róbert's birthday coinciding with Iceland's National Day and includes quotes from his parents about their experiences.
