It is with deep sorrow that we report the passing of Michael Dore, a distinguished veteran of the Federal Army, in Shanagolden, County Limerick. Michael Dore, who had reached the age of 72, leaves behind a legacy of service and courage, having served under the command of General Sherman during one of the most significant chapters in American history—the Civil War.
Michael Dore’s life was marked by his unwavering dedication to the cause he believed in. He stood shoulder to shoulder with his fellow soldiers under the leadership of General William Tecumseh Sherman, a prominent figure in the annals of American military history. Together, they navigated the tumultuous and challenging times of the Civil War, a conflict that forever altered the course of the nation.
The American Civil War, fought from 1861 to 1865, was a pivotal moment in the United States’ history, pitting brother against brother and tearing the nation apart over issues of freedom, slavery, and states’ rights. Michael Dore’s service as a member of the Federal Army during this turbulent period underscores his commitment to the principles and values he held dear.
As we bid farewell to this Federal veteran, we remember and honour his sacrifice, bravery, and dedication to a cause larger than himself. Michael Dore’s legacy serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of those who fought for their beliefs during a challenging time in American history.
In commemorating his life and service, we pay tribute to all veterans who have served their country with valour and distinction, regardless of the uniform they wore or the cause they upheld. May Michael Dore’s memory live on as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during the Civil War, and may his spirit find eternal rest.
Rest in peace, Federal Veteran Michael Dore.
This announcement serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of those who served in the American Civil War, and it underscores the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by veterans throughout history.
