Статистика награждений Медалью Почета - доля людей ирландского происхождения
https://www.warhistoryonline.com/vietnam-war/long-love-affair-between-irish.html
Всего 3 525 награждений Медалью Почета за всю историю США.
Out of this pint-sized percentage, an estimated 2 021 of those Medals of Honor have gone to Irish American recipients.

That’s a staggering 57 percent.
The most distinguished military honor of the United States of America, created during the Civil War and first awarded in 1863, the Medal of Honor has been awarded 3,525 times to date. Indeed, this is a rather minute percentage of the millions of people that have served the US in combat, and it illustrates how sparingly the Medal of Honor gets awarded.
Although the award is only meant for personnel of the US Armed Forces, US citizenship is not always a prerequisite to serving in the US military. As a result, thirty-three countries are represented in over 500 foreign-born recipients of the Medal of Honor. This may not come so much as a surprise, but out of these foreign-born recipients, 257 are Irish-born, representing about half of the people in this category.

Even better, 19 men have so far won the medal twice, and of these, five were born in Ireland: Henry Hogan, John Laverty, John Cooper, John King, and Patrick Mullen. Also among these 19 double medal recipients are three Irish Americans: Daniel Daly, John McCloy, and John Joseph Kelly.
