                Proclamation 9701 of February 28, 2018

                
Irish-American Heritage Month, 2018

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During the month of St. Patrick's Day, we celebrate 
                Irish-American Heritage Month and the tremendous role 
                Irish immigrants and their descendants have played in 
                the development of our great Nation. Irish-American 
                Heritage Month is a great opportunity to celebrate the 
                nearly 33 million Americans with Irish ancestry and 
                their tremendous contributions to the betterment of our 
                country. This month, and every month, we appreciate 
                their efforts in helping usher in a new era of American 
                prosperity.

                Irish Americans have distinguished themselves in every 
                sector of American life. Many have been among the key 
                architects of our country's greatness. Nine of the men 
                who signed our Declaration of Independence were of 
                Irish origin. Presidents Andrew Jackson, John F. 
                Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and many others have traced 
                their roots to the Emerald Isle. Businessman Henry 
                Ford, founder of one of America's most iconic 
                companies, was the son of an Irish immigrant.

                For centuries, the tenacious Irish spirit, paired with 
                American self-reliance, has helped Irish immigrants and 
                their descendants realize incredible dreams. With 
                religious devotion, strength rooted in the love of 
                family, and confidence in the promise of America, Irish 
                Americans have engaged in the American experience in 
                robust and meaningful ways. Their neighborhoods, 
                schools, churches, and workplaces have affirmed the 
                importance of faith, industry, and learning. It is, 
                therefore, no wonder that American art, business, and 
                public life are marked by Irish names and symbols.

                This month, Americans across the country will don the 
                traditional green garb as we celebrate the patron saint 
                of Ireland in an annual tribute to our shared and 
                cherished heritage with that great country. As we spend 
                this month honoring Irish Americans, we also pledge to 
                further strengthen our relationship with the Emerald 
                Isle itself, as we look forward to a bright future of 
                greater friendship, cooperation, and commerce for 
                centuries to come.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim March 2018 as Irish-
                American Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to 
                celebrate the achievements and contributions of Irish 
                Americans to our Nation with appropriate ceremonies, 
                activities, and programs.
