Irish America’s publisher, Niall O’Dowd, wrote from the Notre Dame vs. Navy football game in Dublin.
In years to come, hardcore Notre Dame fans will ask “Were you there?” when this Dublin game against Navy is discussed.
I predict it will be right up there with many of the great moments of this storied college. What a day to be both Irish and American.
If you were not proud of your heritage in Dublin on September 1, then you lack an emotional bone in your body.
I’m a sucker for two national anthems: the Irish and U.S. ones. Hearing them both played at the commencement of the Notre Dame/Navy football game at the astonishing Aviva Stadium in Dublin was a deeply emotional moment.
