Volume 4 Issue 3
"To call members of the Hibernian Race foreigners would be an
anomaly, as they are an integral part of Americanism. The Irish have
become an integral part of us, even those of us who may be descended
from passengers of the Mayflower can hardly look upon them as
foreigners. Once here, the Irish have bound us so closely to that
little isle whence they came that we can no longer look upon Ireland
as a foreign country....Everyone in the United States knows that the
"Old Country" can refer only to the Emerald Isle...This very
remarkable psychological state is due entirely to the Irishman's
wonderfully passionate patriotism....
But the Irishman's love for his old home has never made him
relegate America to a second place."

Cultural Society St. Patrick's Dinner will be Friday, March 19 at 7:00
at the Pine Tree Country Club. All proceeds ($50 per included dinner

Association. As always the event will
feature our own homemade Irish ales supervised
by our Master brewer, Doug McCullough. You will join in the official
“tapping of the firkin”. Enjoy traditional Irish music, join in
traditional Irish dance, sing along with the Irish tenors and feast on
a huge spread of our famous Celtic recipes. All of this is included in
the ticket price! In addition, you can expect to be tapped (pardon the
pun) during the party for our yearly single malt tasting as well. Last
year, BICS raised about $6,000 for the Birmingham Athletic
Partnership. This year we hope to do even better for this incredibly
important cause (we mean the Heart Association, not the Irish
committee). Heart disease has been our nation’s number one killer;
help us take on the monster. Reservations with Elaine

Review of Burns Night with Scottish Society of Mobile
Another Burns Night is behind us as the assembled had a wonderful time
celebrating the Scottish Bard's birthday. A special treat was the
"Bonnie Knees" Contest - which promises to become an annual event. It
had to be tough for our Judge, Mary McDonald, to pick the best and
Bonniest of the knees because there were indeed some handsome knees
knocking! The Blue Ribbon may have gone Rob Etheredge but the others
were all GREAT contenders. Thanks go to David Snyder for providing our
Haggis and Mary McDonald and Terry Homer for shortbread Special thanks
to Michael Whinery who piped in our Haggis performed during the
Ceilidh and to Albert Hunter who did such a good job with the "Address
to the Haggis." Brandy Jones did a solo, too. Marlene Lowing
received the "President's Award" which recognizes someone who has
helped and supported them through their year as president. Marlene
keeps a low profile but always rises to the occasion whenever a
helping hand is needed. She decorates and arranges the food at our
meetings and just does whatever needs to be done. Congratulations,
Mary! Many, thanks also to our members who contributed the super door
prizes and all our sponsors, too! The Committee members who worked so
hard - Bobbie Bayne, Marlene Lowing, Georgine Ferguson, Sylvia Ensley,
and Butch Homer - created the best Burn's yet! (Review compiled
from several submissions from Mobile Scottish Society)

Seeking Irish Veteran Information
The Irish Veterans Historical Research Centre is currently seeking
information on Irish men and women who served in United States
Military from 1900 to the present day. Their aim are to identify
those Irish men and women who served in Defence Forces outside the
Irish State, and to create a suitable Memorial in Ireland to their
service and sacrifice.The genesis of the project lies in the 1998
exercise to identify Irish-born soldiers who lost their lives during
the Vietnam War. The official US records showed one solitary Irishman
as having died, but within a year 16 Irish-born had been identified.
As research has continued into the Irish Vietnam dead, the total
identified presently stands at 19 Irishmen and one Irish woman who
died serving in US uniform. Another four Irishmen died serving with
Australian forces in Vietnam. Korea, World War Two and World War One
hold similar knowledge gaps, with the exception that we know that
upwards of 49,000 Irish lost their lives in World War One serving in
British Army regiments. The numbers of those who served in US,
Australian, Canadian and other forces in that same war, and others,
are as yet unknown.Information and other support may be sent to Irish
Veterans Historical Research Centre Ltd, Capel Chambers, 119 Capel
Street, Dublin 1, Republic of Ireland. Declan Hughes can be contacted

On Eagle's Wings - Scots-Irish Musical Debut in
Atlanta
Based on the history of the Scots-Irish over 500 years, ‘On
Eagle’s Wing’, is a musical celebration of the people that gave
America seventeen Presidents (not forgetting some of history's most
notorious rogues, rebels and revolutionaries along the way!). With
exciting original music and dance, ’On Eagle’s Wing’ features
a large cast of actors, thirty professional dancers (modern and
traditional), choirs, bands, pipes, fifes, drums, traditional
instruments and full orchestra supporting a narrator who tells the
story of the Scots-Irish through the eyes of individuals throughout
their history. The narrator commands the stage and the big cast in
this huge story of emigration, separation, love and loyalty. As the
story spans the centuries, the narrator also enters the action as he
manipulates the characters on stage and plays various roles from the
part of a shipping agent to the American President Andrew Jackson.
After attending a special VIP performance, Former United States
President Jimmy Carter has given the new Scots-Irish musical 'On
Eagle's Wing' a tremendous personal endorsement. In a letter to
Lord Laird of Artigarvan, chairman of the Ulster-Scots Agency, Mr
Carter said that the stage show, which traces the movements of the
Scots-Irish to the USA, was sure to promote the parity of esteem
initiated with the Belfast Agreement of 1998. President Carter
added: ""I wish this production every success in achieving its goal
of education, enlightenment and entertainment as it supports efforts
towards reconciliation, peace and acceptance of cultural
differences." The Carter commendation for the show, came after a
special presentation was arranged on June 7 in Atlanta, Georgia. On
Eagle's Wing will premiere at the Gwinnett Center Arena on Friday
May 7th, 2004, before continuing to Jacksonville, Baltimore and then
on to Ireland. The show will return to the U.S. in the Fall of 2004
for an extensive tour. (submitted by Bernard Gilliland)
