This resolution commemorates General Casimir Pulaski, a Revolutionary War hero often referred to as "The Father of American Cavalry" or "The Soldier of Liberty," who died on October 11, 1779, from wounds received during the siege of Savannah, Georgia. The resolution, passed by the Tennessee General Assembly, formally recognizes October 11 as "General Pulaski Memorial Day" to honor Pulaski's significant military contributions to American independence. Specifically, the resolution highlights Pulaski's role in raising Pulaski's Legion for the Continental Army and reforming the American cavalry, and calls for commemorating his sacrifice through patriotic and public exercises. By passing this resolution, the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives aim to remember Pulaski's heroic efforts and pay tribute to his important role in the American Revolutionary War.
