One of the Union Irish brigades lost the honor of their heritage in the heat of battle. Being a proud Irish boy, I could not let my countrymen suffer that fate. Riding back under view of the enemies of freedom, dodging fire, losing my brave steed,losing my pistol even my blouse I manage to find and retrieve the flag of emerald and gold. As the sun set I walk along, tired, exhausted even, but satisfied that Irish honor is preserved. So back to camp to return the shot worn banner to its rightful place, into the hands of a brigade of the far flung sons of Erin.

As a long removed son of Erin it brought a tear to my eye to see this piece. An opus to my Irish heritage, a people that may have frequently lost the fights they were in, but never withered in heart and never stopped fighting.

It has been noted by other Irishmen, that the people of that time had an admitted slave mentality. When you grow up and live in those conditions it becomes habit not to try to fight or resist. Those that left or were forced out to other lands, having then tasted greater freedom than they ever knew, regained their spirits. Thus learning to fight, often hoping to bring back that knowledge and spirit to Ireland in the hopes of freeing her one day. That is what I believe.
