Myself I am proud to have Polish Blood!
I love Poles - feel like they’re cut from the same cloth as us Americans. They never go down without a fight!
My Polish old man was a tough son of a bitch. He was a breaker boy at 12; Both a mine worker and steel worker. He was all neck and shoulders.
He and my Russian and Lithuanian uncles would argue about Truman and MacArthur when they weren't arguing about whether it was Lithuanians, Poles, or Russians who were the biggest idiots.
They all had one thing in common. Their wives were Italian sisters who tried to keep them in line. I don't remember anything but loyalty to and respect for America.
You should be.
No people should have a functional economy or governance after the devastation wrought by being subjugated by the Soviet Empire.
I’ve been fair impressed by the comprehensive and speedy recovery of Poland. That says something about the people involved.
Years ago (early 70s I think) I subscribed to a magazine named “Poland.” It was very large, printed on heavy paper. As I remember it celebrated the Polish people and their art.
“Just Heartbreaking.
Myself I am proud to have Polish Blood!”

Me, too.
He is a hero.
Praying for him and his loved ones.
Hail the Polish hero. Am 25 % Polish, 25 % Austrian and 50 % Scottish. Probably explains why I beat the crap out of myself all the time. lol.

I’m 1/8th Polish myself.

Poland is the only country I know of where neither of the 2 largest parties are leftist.
In fact, their socialist party was shut out of the most recent parliamentary election, they got under 8%.
