Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of the resolution calling for a month to remember the significant achievements and contributions that IrishAmericans have made to our Nation. Throughout our more than 200 years of history as a Nation and during our colonial period. countless immigrants from the Emerald Isle have arrived on our shores. IrishAmericans have been instrumental in building up our strong. free. and prosperous Nation at every turn in our Nations rich history. Despite initial discrimination. IrishAmericans used the freedom and opportunity of the United States to build strong communities and businesses and prove themselves great Americans. Though many Irish came to American shores with little but the clothes on their backs. their hard work and integrity made them great American leaders.
