Welcome to the Website

of the

American Association of the Friends of Kosciuszko at West Point, Inc.



Annually Commemorating the Life of

TADEUSZ KOSCIUSZKO
(1746 - 1817)

Polish and American Patriot and Hero, Altruist, and
Champion of Freedom, Independence, Democracy,
and Equality on Two Continents,

and held to be the

Patron Saint of West Point in the Early American Republic,

and concomitantly one of our Nation's earliest secular saints.

 

 As it has done since 2003, and would have done on April 24-25, 2020, but the unanticipated Covid-19 pandemic forced our Association's 17th Annual Kosciuszko Conference and Kosciuszko Commemorative Events to be cancelled. The pandemic forced our 18th Annual Tadeusz Kosciuszko Conference program of April 23, 2021 to occur remotely via the basis of ZOOM internet technology. Nonetheless, it had been successful for all concerned. So too, by the grace of God, had been our 19th, 20th, 21st and 22nd Annual Tadeusz Kosciuszko Conferences in 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 respectively, thereby setting the stage for our forthcoming

23rd Annual Tadeusz Kosciuszko Conference and Related Kosciuszko Commemorations that are Scheduled for April 24 and 25, 2026

that will address a two-fold objective:

(1) The significance of the arrival of Tadeusz Kosciuszko in Philadelphia in August 1776 to volunteer his service as a "Freedom Fighter" in the Glorious Cause of National Insdependence of the United States of America; and                             

(2) REALITY, MYTH or PAUSE: The Fall of Communism in Europe and the Roles of Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev and Lech Walesa.   

 

Major Detalia of which will be posted considerably om January 1, 2026 and thereafter
