Dear President Biden,
As Polish-Americans, we thank you for your commitment to NATO, Poland, and Ukrainian independence. We hope the visit of Poland’s President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Donald Tusk will help strengthen this bond.
Polish General Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Casimir Pulaski fought for American Independence, and we are pleased that your administration is committed to returning this favor.
As the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York prepares for its centennial next year, we are proud of our history of championing Polish freedom through World War II, the Cold War, and today. Over the years, we have awarded tens of millions of dollars in scholarships and research grants supporting Polish culture, science, and sovereignty.
Over the past two years, we have raised nearly $2 million to support the Ukrainian women and children who fled Russian bombs seeking safety in Poland. We hope the United States Congress continues its support of Ukrainians in their struggle.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a threat to Europe and the free world. We are reminded of a quote from our namesake, Kosciuszko, who said he fights “For your freedom and ours.”
Respectfully,
Alex Storozynski
Chairman of the Board of Trustees
Marek Skulimowski
