IRISH-AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH, 2017

- - - - - - -

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Irish Americans have made an indelible mark on the United States. From Dublin, California, to Limerick, Maine, from Emerald Isle, North Carolina, to Shamrock, Texas, we are reminded of the more than 35 million Americans of Irish descent who contribute every day to all facets of life in the United States. Over generations, millions of Irish have crossed the ocean in search of the American Dream, and their contributions continue to enrich our country today.

From our four Irish-born Founding Fathers to Thomas Francis Meagher, the Irish revolutionary who became an American hero after leading the Irish Brigade during the Civil War, Irish immigrants have shaped our history in enduring ways. Throughout the centuries, hard-working Irish Americans have contributed to America's innovation and prosperity -- tilling the farms of Appalachia, working the looms of New England textile mills, and building transcontinental railroads -- often overcoming poverty and discrimination and inspiring Americans from all walks of life with their indomitable and entrepreneurial spirit in the process. From these early beginnings rose generations of Irish Americans who continue to lead our cities, drive our economy, and protect and defend the land they embrace as their own.

American culture carries an unmistakably Irish-American imprint. Our literature, cinema, music, dance, sports, and visual arts are filled with the names and influence of great Irish Americans.

Cool. This should be fun! When will he fix the economy/Obamcare/bring back jobs, etc? We need more bread and less circuses.

Rumor has it O'Reilly said he wouldn't endorse Trump, but this tied together the negotiation. I kid.

a reply to: xuenchen

So does this mean we are supposed to get sh*tty drunk every day this month instead of just on St. Paddy's???

Alright!!! First good policy by Trump so far. Not sure most of us will even be awake again until June though.

Well that is a good thing my husband last name goes as far as Ireland, now we can officially celebrate and have a whole month to do it.

This great, my children have Spanish, Taino, Black, Italian and Irish, we get to celebrate all those holidays.

Why couldnt it just be "Irish" appreciation month?

Because this isn't Ireland.

Three cheers for Donald 'Patrick O'Malley' Trump.

Has he recently bought a boatload of Guinness and Jameson stock?

BC this is MERCA!

a reply to: xuenchen

You have not idea, xuenchen, is better than you think, specially when I am publicly talking about politics and bring down the minority card to say whatever I want.

St. Patrick himself was "diverse".....

Saint Patrick (Latin: Patricius; Irish: Pádraig [ˈpˠaːd̪ˠɾˠəɟ]) was a fifth-century Romeo-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. Known as the "Apostle of Ireland", he is the primary patron saint of Ireland, along with saints Brigit of Kildare and Columba. He is also venerated in the Anglican Communion, the Old Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox Church as equal-to-apostles and the Enlightener of Ireland.

If only I were Irish :p

Let me do the honor!!! This announcement also inspired me to return to my other avatar. The GOAT - The Irishman - Conor McGregor!!!

Am I the only one who finds this incredibly ironic?
