"For centuries, America and Ireland built a proud and enduring partnership cemented by mutual values and a shared history.
Generations of Irish have crossed the Atlantic in pursuit of prosperity. Today, nearly 40 million of their proud descendants continue to make their indelible mark on the United States of America. Their stories, as varied as our Nation's people, humble us and inspire our children to reach for the opportunities dreamed about by our forebears.
Over hundreds of years, Irish men, women, and children left the homes of their ancestors, watching the coasts of Donegal and the cliffs of Dingle fade behind them. Boarding overcrowded ships and navigating dangerous seas, these resilient travelers looked to the horizon with hope. Many left their valuables, land, and stability behind, seeking the true treasures of their homeland through songs, literature, humor, traditions, faith, and family.
And when they landed on our shores, they shared their gifts generously, adding immeasurable value to towns, cities, and communities throughout our Nation.
Today, we draw on the indomitable spirit of those Irish Americans whose strength helped build countless miles of canals and railroads; whose brogues echoed in mills, police stations, and fire halls across our country; and whose blood spilled to defend a Nation and a way of life they helped define.
Defying famine, poverty, and discrimination, these sons and daughters of Erin demonstrated extraordinary strength and unshakable faith as they gave their all to help build an America worthy of the journey they and so many others have taken.
During Irish-American Heritage Month, we recall their hard work and perseverance legacy, and we carry forward that singular dedication to forging a more prosperous future for all Americans."
