Did you Know ? • One-third to one-half of the American troops who fought during the Revolutionary War were Irish or of Irish descent? • Of the total individual Americans who have been awarded the Medal of Honor, at least 261 were born in Ireland, and scores of others were the children and grand children of Irish immigrants? • Twenty-eight Irishmen who were killed in the Korean War were made posthumous citizens at a special ceremony held in Washington, D.C. on October 30, 2003? One by one the names were called and in answer, sisters, brothers, nephews, nieces and cousins stood up to accept the specially framed certificates of posthumous citizenship made for the occasion by the U.S. Please share if you like this or any other post thanks for the support https://facebook/pages/Work-for-you/469843989735039?ref=tn_tnmn
