ancestry whose talents, energies, and devotion to freedom have contrib-
uted greatly to the growth of this Nation since the earliest days.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the

as General Pulaski's Memorial Day and I direct the appropriate Govern-
ment officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government

General Pulaski's Memorial Day,
1975
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
One hundred and ninety-six years ago, Casimir Pulaski, a Polish
patriot in exile, gave his life in the struggle for American independence.
General Pulaski came to the United States in 1777, when barely 30
years of age, to join George Washington's Revolutionary Army. He
served with great distinction at Brandywine and was promoted by the
Continental Congress to the rank of Brigadier General. He commanded
a cavalry division and later organized an independent corps of cavalry
and light infantry which won acclaim as Pulaski's Legion. In October,
1779, during the Battle of Savannah, he was mortally wounded while
leading his cavalry unit in a daring charge.
It is appropriate to commemorate General Pulaski's heroic sacrifice
in the cause of freedom.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the
United States of America, do hereby designate Saturday, October 11,
1975, as General Pulaski's Memorial Day, and I direct the appropriate
Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Gov-
ernment buildings on that day.
I also invite the people of the United States to observe the day with
appropriate ceremonies in honor of the memory of General Pulaski and
his dedication to the defense of liberty.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred
seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America

General Pulaski's Memorial Day, 1976
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
The success of the struggle for American independence was insured in large
measure by the courage, selflessness and sacrifice of patriots dedicated to the principles
of freedom and equality. Casimir Pulaski was such a patriot and, one hundred and
ninety-seven years ago this October, his devotion to these principles and their realiza-
tion cost him his life.
General Pulaski, in exile from his native land, came to America in 1777 to join the
Revolutionary Army. He fought courageously at Brandywine and in other battles, and
he commanded Pulaski's Legion which fought so valiantly and contributed greatly to
the achievement of our independence.
In October, 1779, General Pulaski died of wounds received in the Battle of
Savannah. In commemoration of his heroic sacrifice in the cause of American inde-
pendence, it is appropriate to pay grateful tribute to him and to the millions of Amer-
icans of Polish descent who have played such an important part in founding our
country, fostering its growth, and preserving and perpetuating its ideals.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States
of America, do hereby designate Monday, October 11, 1976, as General Pulaski's
Memorial Day and I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of
the United States on all Government buildings on that day.
I also invite the people of the United States to honor the memory of General
Pulaski on that day with appropriate exercises and ceremonies in suitable places
throughout our land.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of
September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Inde-
pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.

Dear
President Ford recently signed a Proclamation
designating October 11th as General Pulaski's
Memorial Day, 1974. In his Proclamation the
President states, 11 ... we pay grateful
tribute to the heroic sacrifice of Casimir
Pulaski. And as we do so, we also pay tribute
to all Americans of Polish ancestry whose
talents, energies, and devotion to freedom
have contributed greatly to the growth of this
Nation since the earliest days."
The President asked that I send you the enclosed
dyplicate of his Proclamation as a small remem-
brance of this occasion. It comes to you with his
