Congress rewarded Pulaski with a commission as brigadier general and command of all American cavalry.

Pulaski's Legion became the training ground for American cavalry officers including "Light Horse" Harry Lee, the father of Robert E. Lee, and the model for Lee's and Armand's legions.

Had I not learned it here at the Foxhole in 2003 I would have never known about Pulaski. I recall learning about LaFayette in school and Von Stueben but those are the only "foreign" fighters in the revolution I remember being taught about. IMO, they don't teach enough history in our schools.

Growing up in Chicago we learned about Pulaski and Kosciuszko but hardly a mention of Lafayette. :-)
