Honoring the extraordinary contributions of Irish Americans to the American War for Independence on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the United States.

This resolution honors the significant contributions of Irish Americans to the American War for Independence during the 250th anniversary of the United States. It recognizes that Irish-born soldiers and citizens of Irish descent made up a large portion of the Continental Army and included key figures like Commodore John Barry and Charles Carroll of Carrollton, who signed the Declaration of Independence. The measure formally acknowledges the role of Irish merchants and community leaders who provided financial and material support to the revolutionary cause. It encourages Americans to reflect on this heritage as part of the broader national commemoration without proposing any new laws or funding.
