How About a Kosciuszko Day?-- Part 1: Another Polish Fighter in the American Revolution


From the March 4, 2018, Chicago Tribune "Kosciuszko hard to say, but just as heroic as Pulaski" by Mary Wisniewski.

Monday, March 5 was Pulaski Day to honor hero of the American Revolution, Casimir Pulaski, father of American cavalry and who gave his life in the cause of freedom.  He is honored with his day and here in Chicago with Pulaski Road.

Chicago was once the home of the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw.  There is still a lot of them living along Milwaukee Avenue in one area of Chicago.  Polish immigrants have contributed greatly to the United States.
