Wounded US Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, Tweeted out a B-Day message to her hubby yesterday. The message, which was typed out by a staffer, read, “Happy Birthday @ShuttleCDRKelly & @StationCDRKelly! Thanks for the cake @houstonhospital“ and included a pic of the cake at left.

Giffords husband, Mark Kelly is a NASA astronaut who recently left Giffords’ rehab center in Houston, with her blessing, to resume training for his upcoming flight piloting the Space Shuttle. As for the other Kelly mentioned in the Tweet, it’s Mark Kelly’s twin brother and fellow astronaut, Scott Kelly.

This is only the third Tweet send from the Congresswoman’s account since the horrible mass shooting in Tucson. In fact, her Twitter feed still features the haunting Tweet she sent out just minute before being struck down by an attemtpted assasins bullet.

“My 1st Congress on Your Corner starts now. Please stop by to let me know what is on your mind or tweet me later.”
