Sorry about the communist party link on the left. Maybe someone can explain what they're talking about.

Polish special forces ping: they're called GROM, Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Mobilnego. (Operational Mobile Response Group.)

Poland took a lot of risks supporting America. It also took a beating from some of its European friends." Yes they did and it will be remembered if I have anything to say about it....God bless Poland

It is a pity that everything there is almost always top secret, I would with pleasure read let say „month reports” about those guys. I read this article when was published and since that time I didn’t heard any new news about GROM.

"Live free or die." I think it could work as a motto for Poland.

"Grom" was also the name of the giant battleram used by Sauron's army to smash open the gates of Minas Tirith.

From GROM to Witkiewicz -- My deep respect for Poland. After what they've been through we owe them our unbending commitment.

There is no national motto of Poland, so for a unit of that nation's military to adopt an official one might appear to some to be excessively vainful. Less official and public ones are common with such troops, however, as they were with General Sosibowski's Free Polish Paratroops during the Second World War.
And if necessary, that motto of Catherine of Poland would certainly serve Poland's modern warriors as well as it has those in Poland's past: Pro jure et populo!
For justice and people. That has a very nice ring to it, a sound to echo for the ages.
