2022 Polish National Independence Day
POLISH NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE DAY
Narodowe Święto Niepodległości
“November 11th is a special day for the Polish people because it represents the fulfillment of their pursuit of freedom during Poland’s long and painful history. The many doomed uprisings, the bondage of Siberian exile, and efforts to sustain Polish culture and identity were not in vain. After over a century of a consistent, dedicated, and tireless fight, Poland emerged from the iron chains of the partitioning powers. November 11th is the collective legacy of generations of Polish patriots who stood against overwhelming odds. It was the day when Poles’ dreams and hopes were fulfilled in the rebirth of their nation” /from the Polish American Congress (PAC) website/
“I deeply believe in the independent, sovereign, free Poland. I deeply believe in my compatriots. I deeply believe in the sense of great faith – latent in everyone and in all of us — in the value of sovereign, independent, our own Poland, where we govern and make decisions all by ourselves. I deeply believe in the wisdom of our society” – said Polish President Andrzej Duda during the ceremony and guard briefing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw. The Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda was in attendance.
104 Words for 104 Years
of Polish Independence
Under this title arrived the special address delivered in Polish to the Polish people from the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky:
“Dear Poland. Your regained independence is 104 years old today. And I have 104 words for you. Ukraine and Poland together. You are our sister. We had our ups and downs, but we are relatives. We are free. When our regained independence was 30 years old, Poland was next to us. I remember our shared happiness. We rejoiced together. When we met again with the old common enemy, Poland was next to us. Ukrainians will always remember this. They will remember how they welcomed us, how they help us. Your people are our allies. Your country is our sister. Your friendship is forever. Our friendship is forever. Our love is forever. Together we will be winners. With Independence Day, Poland. With Independence Day, my dear…”
