Thank you Poland. You are a true friend.
God Bless Poland, a god-fearing nation of patriots who stand with us against our common foes.

Iraqi children bid farewell to Poles with hugs and flowers
Oh Lord! I'm so proud to be Polish!
Yes - Thank you Poland for pitching in.
We proudly fly your flag at Walter Reed Army Medical Center every Friday night.
Thank you.
God Bless Poland. America thanks you for your Support!!
HUGS!
Thanks Poland! A true ally!
