Built in 1998 to honor the American army volunteers who returned to fight for Poland . The monument was designed by sculptor Andrzej Pitynski, and symbolically shows soldiers of the Haller Army / Blue Army crossing the vast waters of the Atlantic to come to Poland's aid. Polish Army veterans took the lead in building the monument. A resolution of the General Assembly of the Polish Army Veterans Association of America and the National Headquarters of the P.A.V.A. , along with the support of leading Polish American organizations, and the government of Poland, all made this memorial a reality.
