"I came here, where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it."

The 1st CAV is based at Fort Hood and the General would be pleased to know, I hope, that there are many there who serve this cause even today.

I hope they didn’t spend too much time on something so stupid and useless. Then again I hope it took months.

Yikes, I had NO idea he wasn't a citizen -- do you realize how many counties are named after him???

OR were that many different Pulaskis here, whom said counties were named for?

Every kid in Illinois knows about Pulaski, because it’s an official school holiday!

Next time you’re in Savannah, drop in on Fort Pulaski—it’s worth a visit—and, especially if it’s spring and the flowers are blooming, don’t miss Monterey Square, one of the nation’s beauty spots, and the monument to Casimir Pulaski in the center of the square. And BTW, Mikve Israel, one of the nation’s oldest synagogues, faces the square. It’s another gorgeous thing. And from the Pulaski monument, gaze south on Bull Street at the beautiful Forsythe Park Fountain in the distance.

Pulaski: "I came here, where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it."

Pulaski is model of a true "American" in the finest sense of the word in heart, soul and deed

This will be probably the only time I will 100% support Dennis Kucinich on anything....

(more then I can say for Dennis Kucinich)
