The Revolutionary War was a close-run thing—and would almost certainly have been lost without the aid of revolutionaries from abroad. Kazimierz Pułaski, an experienced Polish military officer, organized the American cavalry, and very possibly prevented the capture or death of George Washington at the Battle of Brandywine. His contributions were critical at pivotal moments. Without Pułaski, the outcome of the Revolutionary War could have been drastically different, highlighting the crucial interplay between foreign assistance and revolutionary success.
As I walked toward the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, I was reminded of how human choices at crucial moments make democracy possible. The snowplow named after Kazimierz Pułaski served as a whimsical reminder of the sacrifices made for freedom. It symbolizes both the choices we make today and the grateful acknowledgment of those who fought for our liberties in the past. The naming of such a vehicle is not just a quirk of local culture but a connection to the historical struggle for democracy.
