Kasimierz Michal Wladyslaw Wiktor Pulaski, aka Casimir Pulaski, is credited with being the father of the American cavalry. He was a military commander and Polish nobleman who died in 1779 while fighting in the American revolutionary war. Why, you may ask, do I care about this? Two reasons. First, today is Casimir Pulaski Day, celebrated here in the USA, and second, I am ready to celebrate anything Polish (even including sausage) because of all they're doing to help the Ukrainians. The fact that my step-mom was Polish American (she lived through WWII in Warsaw, Poland and worked for the Polish underground) also adds to my urge to celebrate the Polish. So kudos to Poland.
