Traditions that have long been lost or forgotten. Traditions you may remember
as a child. I hope you will send me stories and recipes your grandmother
and grandfather shared with you as a child so I may share them with all

Poland is
a fascinating country with one of the most diverse of all histories in
the world. It has always been a country of Proud people. Proud of where
they came from, proud of what they have accomplished
in the
face of tragedy, wars, famine, religious persecution and injustice.
This is
a country where, when a man says "This is my land!" It is the land where
he fought and bled, it is the land that has the blood from the hands of
his father and his fathers before him. It is the land which hold the tears
of our mothers, grandmothers and our great,great grandmothers.
Poland
is a country that when you walk by an unmarked grave, it may very well
be the grave of an ancestor that was killed trying to protect his ancestrial
rights and protecting the ground on which you are walking. It is a land
that has been rebuilt and rebuilt and rebuilt. Because this is the
fortitude of a Polander. I know this to be true, because I can see that
in each and everyone of you today.
Fortitude
is what we brought with us on our voyage to this great country.
Fortitude is what we used to plow the virgin lands of America.
It is what
we have passed on to our children and our grandchildren.
I want to give you an understanding of why our ancestors had to leave their Homeland to ensure your future. And what it has meant to our families today.
