America's gift to Ireland ping.
Enjoy your "American" holiday!
From this descendent of the Scots-Irish I bid you all a very HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY. Now my family has been In America since the early 1700’s – so why am I proud to be of this Scots-Irish lineage? Because of the type of people they were. Read this quote.
“If all else fails, I will retreat up the valley of Virginia, plant my flag on the Blue Ridge, rally around the Scotch-Irish of that region, and make my last stand for liberty amongst a people who will never submit to British tyranny whilst there is a man left to draw a trigger. “
George Washington, at Valley Forge.
So as I sit at our dinner table tonight gorging on our once a year treat of home-made Guinness Beef Stew, I will thank God for our people, and thank him for sending them to America early our history to help shape it into the great country it became.
Now to you all….
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields, and
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Erin Go Braugh
