Actually, he was a passenger....and a fat one at that. George Washington reportedly told him, "Shift that fat ass, Harry, but slowly, or you'll swamp the damned boat.!!!"
Knox WAS a brilliant artilleryman, and the feats of movement are reknowned today.
Wow.
This mick thanks you, Mr President. And I’ll say an extra prayer for you at mass tonight.
The Irish immigrants and their descendants love this country and have contributed immensely to her foundation.
We are proud of our heritage, and admit our faults. We welcome all to share in that pride while proclaiming the greatness of the USA.
