I wish that today a score of Casimir Pulaskis could come to the aid of our President as he leads our economic and October .4. 1967 military forces in combat against serious threats to "freedom everywhere." I refer not only to the conduct of the war in Vietnam which he inherited from predecessors. but the war which he has launched to free Americans from the bonds of hunger. privation. illness. illiteracy. and insecurityall enemies. each capable of destroying the longcherished independence of our own citizens. Let us turn again to our Presidents own words when referring to Pulaski. He said: In memory of a gallant defender of our Nation. let us rededicate ourselves to the principles for which he gave his lifeprinciples which millions of Polish immigrants to America have defended and strengthened over the years. The President had each of us here in mind when he penned those words. He had in mind every man. woman. and child throughout this land.
