Instead of the usual shamrock or leprechaun, I thought on this St. Patrick’s day it would be to have something that really reflects Ireland.
Thirty-four million Americans claim Irish ancestors, mine were from Ulster in Northern Ireland.
The top video is the Irish Guard in parade before the Queen on St Patrick’s Day.
But they don’t just march around in those impressive uniforms, they are after all a military force.
