In 1926, Poland sent the USA a birthday card signed with 5.5 million signatures, artwork, photos, poems and pressed flowers. Full story and more pictures here. http://www.sunnyskyz.com/blog/2199/Poland-Sent-The-U-S-A-Birthday-Card-With-5-5-Million-Signatures

"Noble Americans," the Poles wrote, "your national holiday is sacred not for you alone. It finds a warm reverberation over the whole world."


"We, the people of Poland, send to you, citizens of the great American union, fraternal greetings [and] . . . our deepest admiration . . . for the institutions which have been created by you.


"In them, Liberty, Equality and Justice have found their highest expression and have become the guiding stars for all modern democracies."


"With eternal gratitude in our hearts," the Poles declared, "we . . . desire . . . to wish your country and your nation all possible prosperity. . . . Long live the United States of America!"
