Was 2019 the first state of the union to have sung happy birthday?

Question

I watched the state of the union and they sang the happy birthday song to the holocaust survivor because it was his birthday. Has something like this ever happened before?

Answer 1

I am not sure if this is the first time where "Happy Birthday" was specifically sung during the State of the Union Address, but the president has traditionally always brought several notable people to speak and/or to be celebrated, such as with this Holocaust survivor. This is especially the case since this address has always been a public relation tool for the president and is not an actual legal/governmental event (similar to rallies).

I hope this helps :)
