Thank you, from our house as well!
God bless our wonderful Polish allies!
Thanks for the thread, here's some additional info on Pulaski.
Thank you, anonymoussierra, and many thanks to your brave and steadfast countrymen. You are much appreciated.
What a gift so long ago, and just when a fledgling America needed every friend she could get. He was indeed a brave man from a brave country, a patriot in every sense of the word. We in America are honored by his service and his burial here. Thank you, Poland, for being our friend back then and holding fast now.
Thank you Polaks, for all your help in winning our Independence.
"Pulaski and Kosciuszko were but the most famous of the many Poles who fought in this war and helped win the independence of the United States. Some, like them, came to America during the Revolution "with the sole purpose of fighting on the side of the ideals of liberty and justice." Others had settled in America prior to the war and were of Polish descent. Their identities and numbers are impossible to determine with any degree of certainty."

When I was in the Corps, we had some big Polish guys from the Detroit area. They were everything a good Marine should be.
