Irish-American Heritage Month, 2025

Proclamation 10899 of March 6, 2025

Irish-American Heritage Month, 2025

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

Irish Americans have played a crucial role in our great
American story--courageously overcoming adversity and
hardship to embolden our culture, enliven our spirit,
and fortify our way of life. This Irish-American
Heritage Month, we commemorate the special bond of
friendship between the United States and Ireland--and
we honor the extraordinary contributions of Irish-
American citizens past and present.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, millions of Irish
immigrants departed the rolling countryside of the
Emerald Isle for the bustling cities of Boston,
Chicago, and New York--leaving behind their homeland
and embarking on a daring journey across the Atlantic
in hopes of a new frontier of opportunity and a better
future for their families. Since then, Irish Americans
have fought for our freedom on the battlefield, served
in our halls of government, and pioneered legendary
businesses--leaving a lasting mark on their communities
and our national identity.

The United States and Ireland also enjoy a long
friendship strengthened by economic ties, a shared
commitment to democracy, and the timeless values of
faith, family, and freedom. As my Administration works
to correct trade imbalances with the European Union,
our historic relationship with Ireland presents an
opportunity to advance fairer trade policies and
stronger investment opportunities that benefit both
nations.

To this day, Irish Americans are known as some of the
toughest, most driven, and most devoted people on the
face of the Earth. Their faith in God, love of family,
and indelible commitment to our national promise
continue to inspire citizens all across our country.
This Irish-American Heritage Month, we salute the
undying resilience and resolve of the Irish-American
community, pay tribute to their tremendous
achievements, and pledge to forge a future that
strengthens our shared values, deepens our traditions,
and restores America as one glorious Nation under God.

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 2025 as Irish-
American Heritage Month. I call upon all Americans to
celebrate the achievements of Irish Americans and their
contributions to our Nation with appropriate
ceremonies, activities, and programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
