That might be difficult. Does Tasmania have diplomatic relations with Poland?

Poland gets it.

The rest of Western Civilization currently has its collectivist head in the sand.

I have heard the Polish people are very friendly to Americans.
Better go quick before Obama fixes that.

Very moving photos. God bless them.

I also can’t stop praising the Polish Dress Uniforms. Good that they retained the snappy WW2 style drab tunics and caps.

I really don’t like the berets and gaudy, unmilitary colors that are pervasive among many current militaries.

Poland will be a guiding light for an immoral Europe when it comes to its senses.

What has time (year) to do with God? Christ as well as human efforts to deny Him are timeless. The only thing that changes together with times and technology is their reason for being in denial. Those in denial lived in Anno Domini 0, live nowadays in AD 2009 and it will live till the end of the world.

A faithless Western Europe may succumb to the Islamic infiltration but Poland, in the heart of Europe, will stand firm for Christianity - just as their ancestors did when they repelled the Moslem hordes at the gates of Vienna.

Thanks for posting these pictures.

I remember the films of Poland’s leader Jaruzelski and Pope John Paul II. 1986? Jaruzelski was literally quaking in his boots.

What beautiful pictures.

There was a time when images like that might have been captured here, and even prominently displayed in our newspapers, sadly, that was a long, long, time ago.

Jaruzelski and his red gang face trials one by one charged with communist crimes against the nation while his communist party is prohibited by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, Chapter 1, Article 13:

Political parties and other organizations whose programmes are based upon totalitarian methods and the modes of activity of nazism, fascism and communism, as well as those whose programmes or activities sanction racial or national hatred, the application of violence for the purpose of obtaining power or to influence the State policy, or provide for the secrecy of their own structure or membership, shall be prohibited.

We could take a lesson from them in how to deal with our current situation. They overcame communism, it seems like we are heading toward it.

Their military, and people, being so clearly religious is great. It's something we need to strive to get back to in our nation.

Bardzo dobje!

This is what Pope John Paul II meant about the Holy Faith's being part of the culture.

The clean faces of Poland's young military men are very inspiring. And all those devoted people in the streets of Warsaw! God will protect Poland for her faithfulness.
