SJR 135 Wisconsin Senate · 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.

SJR 135 is a symbolic resolution commemorating the 250th anniversary of the 1776 Boston siege withdrawal (a key Revolutionary War victory) and recognizing Irish American contributions to American independence. It highlights historical connections, including Irish immigrant soldiers like General John Sullivan, eight Irish American Declaration of Independence signers, and Irish emigrant roles in the military and printing the Declaration. The resolution has no binding effect; it formally acknowledges these historical events and directs the Senate clerk to share copies with Irish officials. As a commemorative measure, it does not create new laws or affect any individuals or policies.
