  • And St. Patrick's
    CB14-FF.02 Jan. 15, 2014 Irish-American Heritage Month (March) and St. Patrick’s Day (March 17): 2014 Originally a religious holiday to honor St. Patrick, who introduced Christianity to Ireland in the fifth century, St. Patrick’s Day has evolved into a celebration for all things Irish. The world’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade occurred on March 17, 1762, in New York City, featuring Irish soldiers serving in the English military. This parade became an annual event, with President Truman attending in 1948. Congress proclaimed March as Irish-American Heritage Month in 1995, and the President issues a proclamation commemorating the occasion each year. Sports Celebration of Irish Heritage 100,003 Population of South Bend, Ind., home to the Fighting Irish of the University of Notre Dame. About 10.4 percent of South Bend’s population claims Irish ancestry.

  • Veterans Day
    November 2018: Veterans Day This year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of major hostilities that resulted in the Armistice to end World War I. Famously, that Armistice occurred on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Veterans Day, which was first established as “Armistice Day” in 1938 and then renamed Veterans Day in 1954, is the U.S. holiday observed annually on November 11 to honor American veterans of all wars. Last year, President Trump declared November National Veterans and Military Families month. Locke Lord proudly recognizes its 17 employees, made up of both attorneys and staff spanning seven of our United States offices, who are self-identified as veterans of the U.S. Military. Supporting veterans organizations has always been a priority at the Firm. Over the years, Locke Lord attorneys have been actively involved in various fundraising efforts to support multiple veterans causes. This year, our Chicago office, through its Pay it Forward Committee, sponsored a Halloween Candy Give-Back through Operation Gratitude. Operation Gratitude sends care packages to U.S. servicemen and women around the world, and the organization has delivered more than 2.1 million care packages filled with items donated by grateful Americans and service-friendly companies that want to express their support for heroes serving overseas and here at home. This year, the Chicago office collected over 75 pounds of candy to place in these care packages to send to our active ser- vice members. In addition, the Chicago office will be holding a jeans Friday in the near future to benefit AllenForce.
