President Joe Biden recognized Pulaski&#8217;s bravery and the contributions of Polish Americans, stating, &#8220;Today, we pay tribute to General Casimir \u2062Pulaski, a Polish immigrant who served alongside American soldiers.&#8221; The proclamation highlighted Pulaski&#8217;s dedication to liberty,\u200d recalling his efforts\u200b against Russian \u200cdominance in Poland and his subsequent service in the United States. It also drew parallels between Pulaski&#8217;s fight and \u2062ongoing global struggles for \u200bfreedom, notably Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine. The statement emphasized the \u200bvital role of Polish Americans in shaping U.S. history and culture, celebrating their contributions across various sectors.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden honors Polish general from Revolutionary War and links his service to war in Ukraine<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1792347\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>White House<\/a> issued a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/10\/10\/a-proclamation-on-general-pulaski-memorial-day-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>proclamation<\/a> on Thursday honoring General Casimir Pulaski, an 18th-century immigrant from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/poland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Poland<\/a> who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-tom-carper-announces-bill-to-give-d-c-statehood\/\" title=\"Sen.

In what could be considered a coy reference to current events, the statement recalled Pulaski&rsquo;s service to his country in attempting to fend off aggression from an invading foreign country &mdash; Russia.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;General Pulaski dedicated his life to the pursuit of liberty &mdash; not just for himself or his country but for all of us,&rdquo; read the proclamation. &ldquo;Born and raised in Warsaw, Poland, he fought against the Russian domination of Poland &mdash; efforts that ultimately led him to flee his home country.&nbsp;Later in life, when he was offered an opportunity to join another fight for liberty on the other side of the world, he took it &mdash; joining our Nation&rsquo;s fight for independence.&nbsp; General Pulaski&rsquo;s service was critical:&nbsp; He led a critical counterattack that helped slow the British, and during the course of the war, it was said that he even saved George Washington&rsquo;s life.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The statement celebrated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3152530\/polish-americans-tend-to-predict-presidential-election-outcome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Polish American heritage<\/a> and tied Pulaski&rsquo;s military service in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/another-eyewitness-account-from-the-stop-the-steal-event-at-the-us-capitol-including-a-memorial-to-ashli-babbit-pictures-video\/\" title=\"Another Eyewitness Account from the Stop the Steal Event at the US Capitol \u2014 Including a Memorial to Ashli Babbit (Pictures, Video)\">18th century<\/a> with Russia&rsquo;s war with Ukraine that started in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;General Pulaski&rsquo;s story and service are just one example of how much Polish Americans have shaped our Nation&rsquo;s history and our future,&rdquo;

Since Russia&rsquo;s brutal invasion of Ukraine, the people of Poland have courageously stood up for freedom, liberty, and justice, rallying around the Ukrainian people and offering them safety and light in their darkest moments.&nbsp; At the same time, Poland has donated tanks, artillery, and aircraft to support Ukraine&rsquo;s self-defense all while becoming an important hub for aid from key partners.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;No one knows better than the people of Poland that, in moments of great upheaval and uncertainty, what you stand for is important and who you stand with makes all the difference,&rdquo;
