John McCain Speech - American Ireland Fund

In AOH circles, since there is sure to be a lot of talk and debate about Senators' Barack OBama and John McCain and their respective Irish heritage, we'll do our best to keep discussions lively, fair, balanced and informative from the "Irish perspective."

Today, we thought you might find interesting reading, a past speech John McCain gave to in Washington D.C. at the 13th National Gala of the American Ireland Fund on March 16, 2005.

The American Ireland Fund presented the Distinguished Leadership Award to Senator John McCain. Senator McCain, a proud Scots-Irish American, is well recognized for his interest and efforts in the peace process in Ireland.
