Dedication
The 54th Rockland County St. Patrick’s Day Parade is dedicated to the men
and women of 1916 whose centennial is celebrated in this year of 2016. While
occurring in Dublin 3,000 miles away, it is proper and fitting that we as Americans
mark this date. The Rising and Ireland’s fight for freedom could not have occurred
without “Ireland’s Exiled Children in America”, just as America’s Independence
could not have been achieved without the nine Irish American signers of the
Declaration of Independence, the twenty generals and 25-35% of Washington’s
Army that were Irish.
Five of the seven signatories of the Proclamation had traveled to America in the
decade prior to the Rising. Two, James Connolly and Tom Clarke had lived in
America for a considerable period of time. Tom Clarke was an American citizen
when he was executed by a British firing squad on 3 May 1916.
The Proclamation of 1916 they fought for contained the very American principles
of religious freedom and civil rights, and well in advance of even America,
universal suffrage for men and women. The men and women of 1916 did not fight
to subjugate or impose their values on others, but for the right to choose their own
destiny. In 1916, it was the men and women of the Rising who were fighting for
the right of “Small Nations to be free” at the GPO, not the tragic Tommies at the
Somme.
In this 54th Rockland County St. Patrick’s Day Parade we salute the men and
women of 1916, not simply because of the Irish connection, but as Americans who
value freedom and admire those of any nation willing to defend that most basic
right no matter what the personal sacrifice.
Neil F. Cosgrove, Irish American Heritage Month Committee Chair
