Tune in this Sunday as Polish-born hero of the American Revolution Tadeusz Kosciuszko receives the national recognition he deserves on CBS News Sunday Morning.
The Emmy Award-winning program will feature a segment on our namesake, the Polish-born military engineer, champion of liberty, and Revolutionary War hero whose brilliance and courage were instrumental to General George Washington's success in securing American independence.
The segment was filmed at The Kosciuszko Foundation Headquarters in New York City and includes an interview with Alex Storozynski, Chairman of the KF Board of Trustees and author of “The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Age of Revolution.” Widely regarded as the definitive modern biography of Kosciuszko, the book brings to life the remarkable story of a man who fought for liberty on two continents and championed the rights of all people.
Correspondent Mo Rocca explores the extraordinary legacy of this immigrant patriot, whose unwavering commitment to freedom, equality, and human rights continues to inspire generations.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD:
The Saratoga Springs Public Library is hosting an event titled “Unearthing Their Stories: Honoring the 44 Forgotten Soldiers of the Revolution”. The Friends of the New York State Military Museum are proud to be a co-sponsor of this special program that is scheduled for Monday, July 27, 2026 from 7 to 8 pm!
Background:
On May 20, a solemn procession carried the remains of 44 Revolutionary War Continental Soldiers down Broadway as they began their final journey toward reinterment at Lake George Battlefield Park, part of the “Repose of the Fallen” memorial project. Local residents and volunteers Kerry Nelson and Larry Handy—whose efforts helped uncover these soldiers during the remarkable 2019 excavation overlooking Lake George—will share their firsthand experiences and insights. Discover what this extraordinary rediscovery reveals about the Patriots who fought to build a new nation. This program is inspired by the Saratoga Springs Public Library’s 2026 summer reading program, Unearth a Story and the 250th Birthday of the United States of America.
