Transporting the corpse of General Krzyżanowski - a great Polish-American manifestation.

The transporting of the remains of the Civil War hero General Krzyżanowski, which will take place in Washington on 11 May, will be a great manifestation of the outstanding role of Poles in the history of the United States. Undoubtedly, the echoes of this ceremony will become, for the American public, one of the evidences of the great contribution made to the life of the United States by the five-million-strong Polish exile.

As part of the ceremony, representatives of President Roosevelt will take part in paying a final tribute to the hero.
