If you live on the North Side, you wish each other ‘Happy Casimir Crawford Day.’

He must have made quite an impression, because there are Pulaski Counties all over the midwest.

Thanks for this history lesson. I had never heard of him before today. He does deserve recognition and honor.
Perhaps as a theme song for Mr. Pulaski’s story, one could use the song “Kasmir” by Led Zeppelin. Mainly because it’s a powerful song that is somewhat like a dirge, or an ongoing march. Yes, I understand, that song has no ethnic connection to Poland.

Poles are great in their home country; They move here to Chicago and become flaming liberals.

I was on the USS Casimir Pulaski SSBN 633

The Pole that led an extraordinary life here and in Europe was Thaddeus Kosciusko.

Similarly, the Pulaski Skyway in NJ is named for another European expat who aided the young country in its war for independence: Baron Stanislaw von Skyway.

Thanks EveningStar!

He hasn’t been forgotten here in Savannah, Ga either.

As he died here, we have Ft. Pulaski, Pulaski school, a Pulaski monument, and, some speculate, his body.

Wasn’t he also the inventor of the Paczki?

Damn it, I spaced out on Pulaski day!

True story, my mom once took me to school on Pulaski day 25 or so years ago, it was closed of course and I had to spend the day at her office.
