"I came here, where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it," Pulaski wrote in his first letter to George Washington.

"A huge monument stands in Savannah, another in Washington..."

There's a small park named for him and a statue in Northampton, MA and Boston too.

Just don't let the hippies know he's a war hero, or they'll want to take the statue down and rename the park.

And probably hold a mock trial to find him a war criminal if they get half a chance.

Add the towns of Pulaski, Wisconsin and Pulaski, Indiana. Also Casimir Pulaski Senior High School in Milwaukee. probably 3/4 of the south side of Milwaukee is Polish. I went to school with lots of kids with 10 or more letter last names with no vowels.

If Martin Luther King Jr., why not Pulaski?

Just what did Casimir Pulaski do?

Everybody in Georgia knows.

We have a really cool fort named for him too!

When the RevWar was in its early stages, many Europeans came here claiming to be Generals and Colonels, etc., and well-versed in war. Most of them were phonies of the first order, and General Washington and his staff were very unimpressed with this crop. There were a few that stood out and earned The General's trust and performed heroicly in battle. Pulaki was one, his countryman Kosciuszko was another, the Prussian von Steuben a third, and, of course, the Marquis de Lafayette the fourth.
