## Summary

**Honoring Irish Americans' contributions to the American Revolution.** This resolution would recognize their outsized role in founding the United States, noting historians' estimates that up to 40 percent of the Continental Army were Irish-born or of Irish heritage despite making up about 10 percent of the population. It highlights leaders such as Commodore John Barry, Charles Carroll, Daniel Carroll, and Thomas Fitzsimons, credits Irish merchants and communities for raising funds, supplying the Army, and shaping early U.S. politics, and calls for reflection on this heritage during the Nation's 250th anniversary.
