The 2025 Senate Joint Resolution 135 commemorates the 250th anniversary of significant events in the American Revolutionary War, particularly the British withdrawal from Boston on Saint Patrick's Day in 1776, which marked a pivotal victory for the Patriots. The resolution highlights the contributions of Irish Americans to the struggle for independence, notably General John Sullivan, the son of Irish immigrants, who played a crucial role in the American forces. It also recognizes the eight Irish American signatories of the Declaration of Independence, emphasizing their diverse backgrounds and collective efforts in founding the United States.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the broader impact of Irish immigrants on the American Revolution, citing historical figures such as John Dunlap, who printed the Declaration, and Stephen Moylan, who first used the phrase "United States of America." It concludes by urging the legislature to honor these anniversaries and contributions, with copies of the resolution to be sent to relevant officials in Ireland and the American Irish State Legislators Caucus.
