Salve friends,
today is Poland's Independence Day - established by the Polish Sejm (parliament) to commemorate Poland's return to the map of the world in 1918. My great-grandfather and his brother and many of our cousins and uncles took part as soldiers in the 3 years long struggle (with Germans in Wielkopolska and Silesia, Czechs, Ukrainians, and the Soviets) to establish Polish Republic after 123 since the Partitions.
...Vivat Polonia ...
