In 1778, Pulaski organized an independent corps of cavalry and light infantry known as the Pulaski Legion. It is reported that he spent $50,000 of his own money to help train and equip his troops.

Casimir Pulaski by Henry Dmochowski Saunders
In the absence of Dr. James Metts, the Chatham County Coroner and head of the Pulaski DNA Investigation Committee, Francis X. Hayes reported on the status of the DNA search. The search conducted in Poland by genealogist Dr. Andrzej Sikorski has yielded results in the form of living female relatives of Pulaski's grand-niece Teresa Witkowski. These women are descended from Pulaski's sister Joanna Walewska in a matrilineal (mother-daughter) manner. Therefore, their mitochondrial DNA should match Casimir Pulaski's. At this time their identities are being kept confidential while Dr. Sikorski arranges to obtain their consent for DNA testing. Up to now these women had no idea they were related to the Pulaski family.
General Casimir Pulaski Rides Again ~ November 30, 2003
DNA evidence to establish that the remains, which were discovered in the Pulaski Monument, are undeniably those of Pulaski, will be available later this summer.
The City of Savannah, Georgia has determined that it must postpone the Brig. Gen. Casimir Pulaski Reinterment and Funeral until 2005. City officials have explained that the decision was necessitated by the fact that this summer, Savannah will be the host site for the G-8 meeting, an event which has evoked strong demonstrations in previous host cities, requiring heightened security at budget-busting costs. The resulting costly expenditures will leave no funds for handling the Pulaski funeral.
My modest proposal is to tell Jacque Chirac and Gerhard Schroeder to go Cheney themselves--thus making the funds available for Pulaski.
Yes, that's the thing.
