Visit to West Point

On November 25, Marcin Sulmirski, a member of the board of the Kościuszko Society, paid an official visit to the renowned United States Military Academy at West Point.

On behalf of the Society and the Museum, he laid a wreath at the monument of General Tadeusz Kościuszko and presented the Academy authorities with an open letter written by Dr. Remo Ankli.

Mr. Sulmirski was warmly received by representatives of the Academy under the leadership of Mr. M. Lajdecki. We would like to sincerely thank them for their support and hospitality.

Special thanks go to the Polish Embassy in Washington for its commitment to expediting the administrative processes.

The visit was deeply moving and left a lasting impression, especially since Kościuszko, as chief engineer of the first major fortifications, played a key role in the American War of Independence.

By establishing direct contact with the Academy, the foundation was laid for future cooperation and for preserving Kościuszko’s legacy.
