The roots of American folk culture. music and dance. for example. can be traced to the Irish culture. not to mention many cropping techniques that were adopted into early American farming. The list of integrated traditions and customs could go on and on. The United States is the melting pot of the world. We. as Americans. are a blend of many ethnic backgrounds. which combine to produce a wonderfully diverse society. I am pleased to pay tribute to the nearly 300.000 natives of Ireland who first immigrated to the United States and to their descendents. I hope that we will continue to preserve this piece of American heritage.
