PULASKI, Brigadier General Count Casimir: Memorial at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C.
Kazimierz Pulaski of Clan Slepowron (March 4, 1746 – October 11, 1779), was a Polish soldier and politician who has been called "the father of American cavalry." A member of the Polish landed nobility, he was a military commander for the Bar Confederation and fought against Russian domination of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. When this uprising failed, he emigrated to North America, where he became a General in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He died of wounds suffered at the Battle of Savannah. Source: WikipediaBronze by Kazimierz Chodzinski
