The Catholic Irish were persecuted, indentured, suffered, discrimination and still served in every American conflict. Where are they honored?

Irish were less than dogs to the British 200 years ago.

I was touched by the Irish famine memorial in Philadelphia when I visited years ago. I believe there are also memorials at Antietam and Gettysburg for the Irish soldiers who died on those fields. This is the one from Gettysburg.

They don't have a "special" month set apart by Congress to honor them, either.

In many of the units of the Military- the Civil War (Iron Brigade) 7th CAV- why do you think they play "Gary Owen", They were not different than the Scots or other minority groups.
