After a 2-year hiatus due to COVID19, the 2022 Battle of Savannah ceremony was held at Tricentennial Park.

  The night before, our organization held a ceremonial dinner at The Club at Savannah Quarters in Poller, Georgia. Almost 100 attendees attended a very nice dinner in very nice surroundings. Mr. Francis Desmone headed up the entertainment by playing a variety of musical tunes on the piano. Afterwards the Pulaski Cadets of Bergan, New Jersey marched into the room and presented the flags of both the United States and Poland. The national anthems of both countries were sung with a great deal of pride and verve. The highlight was an exquisite buffet that included a great variety of foods to be eaten. No one could complain they didn't have their fill to eat and drink. Especially noteworthy were the mammoth deserts that were just heavenly. Afterwards, the many groups that came to Savannah for this event were introduced as well as the donors for the marker dedication on the next day. Featured guests included were:
