EDWARD THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 16, 1976 We now mark the beginning of our 3rd Century as an independent Nation as well as the 20oth Anniversary of the .American Revolution. For two centuries our Nation has grown, changed and flourished. A diverse people, drawn from all corners of the earth, have joined together to f'ulfill the promise of democracy. America's Bicentennial is rich in history and in the promise and potential of the years that lie ahead. It is about the events of our past, our achievements, our traditions, our diversity, our freedoms, our form of government, to a better life for all Americans. The Bicentennial offers each of us the opportunity to join with our fellow citizens in honoring the past and preparing for the f'uture in connnunities across the Nation. Thus, in joining together as races, national­ ities, and individuals, we also retain and strengthen our traditions, background and personal freedom. As we lay the cornerstone of America's 3rd Century, I commend the three Chairmen, Walter J. Przech, Reverend Anthony J. Bomboliski and Edward J. Kozlowski, the entire Memorial Committee, the Polish American Community, the Mayor of Hartford, the Common Council, the Redevelopment Agency, the citizens of Connecticut and other State~, on the unveiling of the General Casimir Pulaski equestrian monument. Efforts such as this are helping to make our great national celebration a memorable and meaningf'ul one for all. 2 COPYRIGHT BY GRANVILLE W. LOWELL P.
