My daughter is doing a Historical report on Tadeusz Kościuszko currently (gives oral report tomorrow to school). Was hoping to find out how to pronounce the city prior to her report but not finding much luck :(

Wonder why we never heard of him when we were going to school. This guy is fascinating and probably one of the most important people to America and it’s future.

Oh well, that’s American schools for ya.

Very nice photos!!! Now I see: it is a GOOD thing they name bridges after famous people, for how else would I have known the name Kościuszko? Two ships have been named for him: SS Kościuszko, and ORP Generał Tadeusz Kościuszko (a former United States Navy frigate that was transferred to Poland).

Thank YOU, thanks Wikipedia!
