One of our Ozarks counties -- Pulaski-- was named in honor of the Revolutionary War commander Casimir Pulaski.   Today Illinois honors  Pulaski during an annual event occuring on  the first Monday of  March. You can read more about Casimir Pulaski here.

A few years ago there was a movement afoot to change some of the street names in Springfield. Some of these names from which people were ready to detach themselves so easily were names historical import to Springfield.  Let's not forget our history and the work and sacrifices made by those who came before us.
