There were multiple references to Pulaski and Kosciusko, the Poles who crossed the Atlantic to fight for American independence, and to the Miracle of Vistula in 1920, when the Polish army under General Pilsudski repelled a Soviet invasion....

In fact, some of those "outside the Washington bubble" had an impact that was much more than simply "noteworthy."... (more)
