    He, General Dempsey is a huge class act. I have lived 72 years and rarely have I seen a man who with all the pressures of being a General behave and perform like a true Irishman and human being. Makes me proud.

    No one can deny the General's Irishness, he wears the map of Ireland on his face...

    I have passed Annie Moore's statue in Cobh, Ireland many times. Thank you General Dempsey & Mr Kearns for this beautiful rendition of the immigrant story.

    My great grandfather left west Cork, Ireland in the 1910s to work in mining in Butte, Montana. He saved up enough money and moved back and bought a farm, I'll never forget the sacrifice made by my people and always remember the difficult lives they had to endure.

    General Dempsey Deserves the Purple Hart for standing up beside the greatest tenor in the world and he gave a great rendition..

    Heartwarming in every possible way. So, so many nations the world round have this tie with Old Ireland. And they feel it deeply.

    Oh, so beautiful. What a gift. This was a song I had planned for my brother Peter's Memorial. He loved music and poetry and left Ireland very young to earn a living. Such a beautiful song and singers. God bless.

    Martin Dempsey represents the best of the US Army, stood up to people with another agenda.
    A very brave man.

    This strikes a chord with me-, I was 17 when I landed heartbroken, from Ireland so I can imagine what it was like for a 15 year old to travel much further, with very little chance of seeing our homeland again. I am fortunate, no matter how hard up I was, I always managed to save enough money to travel home every year?😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
