“Ms. SCANLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate one of Philadelphia's great figures, Stephen Moylan. As we approach America's 250th anniversary, I find it fitting that we reflect on the individuals whose service and sacrifice helped lay its foundation. Born in Cork in 1737, Stephen Moylan emigrated to Philadelphia in 1767 after experiencing religious persecution. Like so many immigrants, Moylan came to America seeking freedom and opportunity and went on to play a critical role in the fight for independence. During the War for Independence, he served in several key positions, including as the second Quartermaster General of the Continental Army, Commander of the Fourth Continental Light Dragoons, and a trusted aide to General George Washington. Moylan is also credited as the first to have used the phrase ``United States of America'' reflecting his belief in unity among the colonies. Moylan was a man of many accomplishments. Notably, in 1771 he was elected the first president of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in Philadelphia, an organization established on the principles of welcoming and supporting Irish immigrants. Today the organization continues his work by promoting Irish culture, education, and providing aid. On January 14, 2026, the Friendly Sons and Daughters of St. Patrick, in partnership with Irish America 250, co-hosted an event at Villanova University to honor Stephen Moylan. This kick-off commemorated the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and highlighted the Irish contributions to American History and culture. Ultimately, Stephen Moylan's life and legacy serve as a powerful reminder of the role Irish immigrants have played, and continue to play, shaping the American Republic. His service to Philadelphia, the Revolutionary cause, and to generations of Irish Americans reflects the long-lasting values of unity, service, and liberty shared among the Irish and American people. ____________________”
