It has long been overlooked the contribution of the Irish in the American Revolution.
It is estimated that at the time there was approximately 1/2 million Irish within the colonial population of 2 million colonists total.  
With regiments participating in almost every major battle of the American Revolution their service and sacrifice to help establish these United States of America cannot be overlooked!
 
On the front:  The sword is a well accepted Celtic symbol of a warrior or fighter
On the back: Our adaptation we call the "Irish Betsy" with the stars replaced with shamrocks and the stripes are made up with the "Pledge of Allegiance" in Gaelic
 
Show pride in our Irish-American fighting spirit and their service and sacrifice to this great nation to establish a country of Freedom and Independence!
