This is the largest division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in the United States. While I was in the company of these fine gentlemen of Irish lineage. I thought about the contributions that the Irish immigrants and their descendants have made to Americas greatness. As a tribute to this proud people on this St. Patricks Day let me recall some of the history of the Irish American. From the earliest days of the Colonies. the prospect of adventure and the love of liberty have lured many of the Irish immigrants across the ocean. In 1737 there were enough Irish in Boston to stage a St. Patricks Day celebration.
