My mom was 100% Irish, born on St. Paddy's Day, and gave birth to my older brother on St. Paddy's Day..... both have passed on
100% Eyetalian...... my cousin and I used to wake up my poor father every St. Paddy's day with "When Irish Eyes are Smiling".....
Tonite will be Reuben's for dinner....with sweet potato fries... washed down with tall glasses of water (apologies, but I just can't drink anymore....makes me dizzy).

I've got lots more of these since I knew lots of people of Irish descent but this will do.
Happy St. Pat's to all!

Regardless of what you may think, you aren't anything but mutt. Remember, every part of the planet has been inhabited by folks from other places. That and the fact that, except antarctica, everywhere has been captured by an invading army, and soldiers being soldiers...
By the way, there is a BBC series Sharpe. It's about a British soldier in the early 1800s. It quite clearly shows soldiers being soldiers. Usually historical things like this avoid the realities of "war".

I do have some Irish heritage, and my first name is Patrick, but not for that reason.
I have been to Savannah for their parade if that counts for anything
Happy St Patrick's Day anyway.

Moms side was Irish (Black Irish). She used to say she could barely understand he Grand Mother because of her thick brough. Dads side was English. Lockharts, Millers and the like. my niece did some genealogy check and found a distant relative buried in the Woodstock Georgia cemetery lived some time mid to late 100s to early 1800. Let's see English, Georgia. English Debtors colony. Gee, a long line of dead beats.
Everyone is Irish at least on Saint Paddies Day. Now for that Irish 7 course meal. Six pints of Guinness and a Potato. (They will allow you to take the Spud to go at my local Irish Pub.) DIA made Whiskey so that the Irish wouldn't rule the earth. LOL Happy St. Pat's. LOL

My ancestry puts me in northern Ireland so I could be an English transplant that eventually became Irish.

I visited Ireland recently, met some distant cousins, visited a pig farm that has been in the family for hundreds of years, the house my great great grandfather grew up in, and more family grave stones than I care to remember.
The DNA results keep changing over time but this American still has a bit of Irish blood in me.

In the early part of our countries history, ditch-digging coal-mining Irish were considered "undesirables" or "detestables" (deplorables) in American society.
The only good job an Irishman could find, that nobody wanted, was as a police officer.
My how the times have changed.

"The luck of the Irish"Isn't that about the norm for all immigrants? Just what cultural group was heralded with open arms? Yet all those that came legally have been absorbed into America, grudgingly I'll grant you. Even Cousin Jacks like me. Davie, Davies, Davis Whales and America. Since my spouse is related to the Captain of the Mayflower, yet part of her background is French (Canadian nowadays) , unless we are part of the First Nations we are all immigrants. But the Wild Geese do hold a distinct place in History.In the early part of our countries history, ditch-digging coal-mining Irish were considered "undesirables" or "detestables" (deplorables) in American society.
