Commemorating the 105th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Poland and the United States.

This resolution (HRES 1198) commemorates the 105th anniversary of formal diplomatic relations between the United States and Poland, established in 1919. It honors historical milestones including Poland’s fight for independence, Polish-American contributions (like the Blue Army and figures such as Kosciuszko and Paderewski), and shared democratic values. The resolution highlights key events like the 1918 Fourteen Points and Poland’s NATO/EU membership, but does not create new laws or affect any individuals or entities. It serves as a ceremonial recognition of enduring U.S.-Poland ties, reaffirming mutual commitment to democracy and security. As a commemorative resolution, it has no legal effect beyond expressing congressional sentiment.
