From the Revolution on through every emergency in which the United States called upon the best in its manhood and its womanhood. to fight and die if need be. the Irish were always up front. and in numbers greater than they were called upon to give in service to their adopted country. Adopted. did I say? Twas a slip of the tongue. No people have every embraced this land with greater warmth or devotion. making it their own. in company with other immigrants of good will. and giving richly to the family life and the neighborliness that make the United States a home for humanity. Like other races. we have had a few among us with thin hearts. The criminals. known or unknown. the draftdodgers. the grafters. and the slippery ones who have stained their rich heritagemay God forgive them.
