Thursday, May 3, 2018, Polish Constitution Day - Pvt. E. Jablonowski Commemoration
In conjunction with the Syracuse Polish Community Home Polish Constitution Day (“Trzeciego Maja”) observation, on Thursday, May 3, 2018, Post 14 of the Polish Legion of American Veterans (PLAV) will dedicate a plaque commemorating the centennial of the death of their patron, Private Eugeniusz Jablonowski, Co. F, 9th Infantry, 2nd Division of the U.S. Army. Pvt. Jablonowski was killed in action during the First World War on July 18, 1918.
The program will begin on Thursday, May 3, 2018 at 11:00 A.M. in Pulaski Park on Park Avenue across from the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and continue at the Polish Community Home. The plaque commemoration will take place in the Polish Home after the May 3 ceremony. The entire event will be at the Polish Home if there is inclement weather.
If you plan to attend, please notify the event coordinator, Richard Sloma.
About the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791
The Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791, was adopted by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, to ensure more freedom and political equality on its territory and introduce the constitutional monarchy system. It reflects enlightenment influences, which gave primacy to reason, law and freedom, as well as religious tolerance, and is considered as one of the first constitutions of its type in Europe. It is the second oldest such constitution in the world, only after that of the United States, ratified in 1787.
