The Polish are still a great ally to the United States.

Thanks for posting.

About time. He was truly a hero in the best tradition of his Polish immigrant roots. He died an American at the end. It is his legacy that Poland and America are such allies.

I just wish that we did not forsake the Poles as we did before the War and especially after the war. There is a special place in hell for FDR for selling them up the river.

Poland has a strong tradition of patriots who fight for freedom. There are many instances of this in Polish history but one you might find of interesting is the role of Polish fighter pilots during the Battle of Britain, who fought along side of Brits, Scots, Irish,Canadians, Czechs and a few Americans. The Poles became infamous and legendary for taking the battle in the air to the enemy, even against very high odds.One of every eight pilots of fighter command were Polish, out of 302 or 303 squadrons. By the end of 1943, a total of 14 Polish Squadrons (ten of them fighter sqns.) and a complete infrastructure were in existence, making the Polish Air Force the fourth largest Allied air force of the war. This tradition of patriotism to freedom also is alive today, despite all those years of burdgeoning rule under the Soviets. It is an honor to pay tribute to Casimir Pulaski.
