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

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.
