Memorial Day

This Memorial Day we honor all who served and sacrificed for our freedom. We reflect on the members of the United States Armed Forces: The Army, The Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Many of those who have served in these branches have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It is in memoriam that we honor those brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and dear friends who gave their lives to preserve our freedom and ensure our prosperity. To all the families of Irish America whose loved ones have bravely heeded the call to serve our nation, we extend our most sincere gratitude.

If you would like to share a story of a family member or friend that has served our country please send an email to submit@irishamerica.com. Read the stories of service men and women in the links below.

June 13, 1865

William Butler Yeats, Ireland’s most famous poet and one of the leading literary figures of the 20th century, was born in Sandyhurst, Co. Dublin on this day in 1865 to an upper class Protestant family. He spent much of his childhood in Co. Sligo, which heavily influenced Yeats’s natural themes, and he read classics like Shakespeare, Donne, Alighieri and Shelley. With Lady Gregory, he helped establish the Gaelic Literary Revival and founded the Abbey Theater in Dublin. He was the first Irishman awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923, followed by Shaw, Beckett and Heaney.
