AJR 141 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: Commemorating the 250th anniversary of one of the first major victories for the Patriots in the Revolutionary War and recognizing the contributions of Irish Americans in the struggle for independence.

This joint resolution commemorates the 250th anniversary of the 1776 Boston siege victory (where British forces withdrew on Saint Patrick's Day) and recognizes Irish Americans' contributions to the Revolutionary War. It specifically highlights figures like General John Sullivan (son of Irish immigrants), eight Irish American Declaration of Independence signatories, and historical connections such as John Dunlap’s printing of the Declaration. The resolution directs the legislature to formally acknowledge these events and send copies to Irish officials, including Senator Mark Daly and the American Irish State Legislators Caucus. As a commemorative resolution, it has no legal effect or direct impact on policy or constituents.
