HELP SPREAD THE WORD!
July 30, 2008
Dear Brothers,The officers and I wish to invite you to actively participate in securing the month of March each year as "Irish American Heritage Month" for the Armed Forces of the United States. Each member of the Marines, Navy, Army, and Air Force would benefit from our effort!
This decision has been made in conjunction with the mission statement of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. Help to spread the word!
Thank you,

We owe this action to our Irish-American ancestors, ourselves, and future generations of Irish-Americans!
