The memorial I visited is located in my hometown of Wallington, New Jersey, and is dedicated to General Casmir Pulaski. Casmir Pulaski led a squadron of cavalry within the continental army, under the direct command of George Washington. During the war, Pulaski would lead a battalion of cavalry under the command of George Washington. Prior to the revolutionary war, he also assisted in leading a rebellion against the commonwealth of Poland at the time, fighting for the freedom of its people. A note of importance is the location of the memorial, as it lies within the town of Wallington, a town with a large Polish population. The tribute marks the pride they feel for one of their own fighting for independence in not only his home country of Poland, but standing up against the oppression of freedom in others. The monument features a bust of Pulaski, along with a quote of his below it.
