Pfc. Michael O'Brien, an AH-64E Apache helicopter maintainer assigned to Delta Troop, 4-6 Air Cavalry Squadron, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade discussed his Irish roots and service in the U.S. Army at Joint Base Lewis-McCord, Wash. on Mar. 15, 2023.
Irish-Americans have a long and proud history of service in the U.S. Army that dates back to the American Revolution. Almost 200,000 Irish-Americans fought in the Civil War; most famously in "the Irish Brigade" of the Union's Army of the Potomac. Soldiers of Irish ancestry continue to serve with courage and distinction across today's Army.
