Pulaski's name is in the right column, at bottom (inside the arch)

Pulaski's presence (winter 1777) at Valley Forge is noted on the memorial arch located at the center of the park. Yet it is only thanks to Edward J. Dybicz, a veteran of Polish extraction, that the name was placed there. Originally it had not been included due to some oversight, and it took an appeal to then Pennsylvania governor James Duff, to make the correction.
