We are non-sectarian, non-denominational and we have no political affiliations. Our aim is to unite all who identify themselves as Irish and who are military veterans, or who are interested in our shared history. We want to use Irish Veterans as a force for reconciliation and to emphasize our shared military experiences, as well as that of the diaspora. We do not seek to glorify war, but to remember and relate the Irish experience of conflict. There exists a huge national blind-spot in Irish history as regards the Irish contribution to modern conflict. We must be brave enough to address historical reality, not hide from it. We need to hear these stories to better understand ourselves,
