Casimir Pulaski, known as the Father of American Cavalry, came from Warsaw, Poland, to fight for the American side in the Revolutionary War in 1778. He commanded a cavalry unit known as Pulaski's Legion. Pulaski died from wounds he suffered during the Battle of Savannah while fighting for American freedom. In 2009, he was made an Honorary Citizen of the United States for his service to the American cause in the Revolutionary War, an honor that has been granted to only eight people in the nation's history.
