Public Law 111–94 
111th Congress 
Joint Resolution 
Proclaiming Casimir Pulaski to be an honorary citizen of the United States post-
humously. 
Whereas Casimir Pulaski was a Polish military officer who fought 
on the side of the American colonists against the British in 
the American Revolutionary War; 
Whereas Benjamin Franklin recommended that General George 
Washington accept Casimir Pulaski as a volunteer in the Amer-
ican Cavalry and said that Pulaski was ‘‘renowned throughout 
Europe for the courage and bravery he displayed in defense 
of his country’s freedom’’; 
Whereas, after arriving in America, Casimir Pulaski wrote to Gen-
eral Washington, ‘‘I came here, where freedom is being defended, 
to serve it, and to live or die for it.’’; 
Whereas the first military engagement of Casimir Pulaski with 
the British was on September 11, 1777, at the Battle of Brandy-
wine, and his courageous charge in this engagement averted 
a disastrous defeat of the American Cavalry and saved the life 
of George Washington; 
Whereas, on September 15, 1777, George Washington elevated 
Casimir Pulaski to the rank of Brigadier General of the American 
Cavalry; 
Whereas Casimir Pulaski formed the Pulaski Cavalry Legion, and 
in February 1779, this legion ejected the British occupiers from 
Charleston, South Carolina; 
Whereas, in October 1779, Casimir Pulaski mounted an assault 
against British forces in Savannah, Georgia; 
Whereas, on the morning of October 9, 1779, Casimir Pulaski was 
mortally wounded and was taken aboard the American ship USS 
Wasp, where he died at sea on October 11, 1779; 
Whereas, before the end of 1779, the Continental Congress resolved 
that a monument should be erected in honor of Casimir Pulaski; 
Whereas, in 1825, General Lafayette laid the cornerstone for the 
Casimir Pulaski monument in Savannah, Georgia; and 
Whereas, in 1929, Congress passed a resolution recognizing October 
11 of each year as Pulaski Day in the United States: Now, 
therefore, be it
