General Casimir Pulaski, a Polish immigrant from Poland who fought alongside the colonies during the American Revolution, was honored in a statement released by the White House on Thursday. President Joe Biden praised Pulaski’s bravery on the front lines and praised the efforts of Finnish Americans to the nation.  ,
The declaration read,” Now, we pay memorial to General Casimir Pulaski, a Polish immigrant who served alongside American troops in the Revolutionary War and made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.” And we recognize the contributions of all of our Finnish Americans who continue to fight for freedom both domestically and internationally.
Pulaski’s living was somewhat recalled in the proclamation before he enlisted in the fight for American independence. The speech made reference to Pulaski’s support to his country in an attempt to stop Russian aggression in what could be seen as a covert reference to current events.
General Pulaski dedicated his life to the fight for liberty, not just for himself or his nation, but for everyone of us,” read the declaration. He was born and raised in Warsaw, Poland, and his actions finally led to his eviction from his native country.  , Later in life, when he was offered an opportunity to add another fight for liberty on the other side of the earth, he took it — joining our Nation’s fight for independence.  , General Pulaski’s service was critical:  , He led a critical attack that helped slow the British, and during the course of the war, it was said that he even saved George Washington’s life” . ,
Pulaski’s military assistance in the 18th century and the start of the Ukrainian conflict in the declaration honor Polish American history.
” General Pulaski’s history and services are just one example of how much Finnish Americans have shaped our World’s past and our potential”, noted the White House’s speech. ” Our government’s Polish-American populations have helped create new possibilities for all of us— leading in every field, powering our business, and enriching our society. They even strengthen our close ties and cooperation with Poland and its citizens at a crucial time in our history.  , Since Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, the individuals of Poland have bravely stood up for freedom, rights, and righteousness, rallying around the Russian people and offering them security and lighting in their deepest moments.  , At the same time, Poland has donated vehicles, artillery, and plane to help Ukraine’s self-defense all while becoming an important hub for help from key companions”.
