## Resource

In recognition of St. Patrick's Day this year, Constituting America is recognizing the role the Irish played in the founding of our country. Did you know 3 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Irish-born? Or a sizeable proportion of the Continental Army had Irish ancestry? Since our founding, 23 US Presidents have had Irish blood. To help us recognize the impact the Irish people have had on our country, we are delighted to welcome America 250 Commissioner and former Congressman Joe Crowley to our chat this week.
