The United States has long commemorated Pulaski's contributions to the American Revolutionary War; on October 29, 1779, the [[United States Congress]] passed a resolution that a monument should be dedicated to him, but the first monument to him, the [[Casimir Pulaski Monument (Savannah, Georgia)|Casimir Pulaski Monument]] in Savannah, Georgia, was not built until 1854. A bust of Pulaski was added to a collection of other busts of American heroes at [[United States Capitol]] in 1867. On May 11, 1910, US President [[William Taft]] revealed a Congress-sponsored [[General Casimir Pulaski (statue)|General Casimir Pulaski statue]].<ref name="psb393" />
