Tadeusz Kosciuszko

So, it's the Fourth of July.  I suppose in honor of that, I want to point out this guy:

This is Tadeusz Kosciuszko.  He wasn't born in the New World.  He was a citizen of Poland.

Pretty much all my knowledge of him comes from this comic.

To sum it up:

• Fought in the Revolutionary War
• Fought to free Poland
• Tried to persuade Jefferson to stop his slavery nonsense

Cool dude.
