Witold Lisowski is a true hero. This sprightly 92 year old has lived a remarkable life. As a young Christian man, he saved the life of a Jewish boy, Józef Inwentarz, along with his family, hiding them for several years and eventually giving his own ID card to Józef. Witold participated in the Warsaw Uprising, served as a colonel in the Polish Army, earned a doctorate, worked as a historian, authored exhibitions and publications on history, and served as the director of the Polish Army Museum from 1984 to 1989. Today, I visited Witold, as I do with all the Righteous Among the Nations before the holiday season, bringing them food, medical devices, sweets, blankets, hot water bottles, and even a Christmas tree—all that is needed to enjoy their holiday with the love and respect they deserve. Witold told me, “I’m so worried about what’s happening in Israel. It’s horrendous what you are going through. I’m especially worried for my family.” Surprised, I asked what family he had in Israel. He took out a picture and told me, “I have 30 members of my family in Israel—the family of Jozef, the boy I saved. They are my family, and I worry for them, the soldiers, and the hostages.” I took off my dog tag; he put it around his neck and told me he’s not going to take it off until they all come home.

Elżbieta Zawacka (19 March 1909 – 10 January 2009), known also by her war-time nom de guerre Zo, was a Polish university professor, scouting instructor, SOE agent and a freedom fighter during World War II. She was also a Brigadier General of the Polish Army (the second and last woman in the history of the Polish Army to hold this rank), promoted by President Lech Kaczyński on May 3, 2006. The only woman among the Cichociemni, she served as a courier for the Home Army, carrying letters and other documents from Nazi-occupied Poland to the Polish government in exile and back. Her regular route ran from Warsaw through Berlin and Sweden to London. She was also responsible for organizing routes for other couriers of the Home Army. Not very liked by her conservative colleagues, she was described as "unconscious feminist and pioneer of the women's liberation and equality movement".

Armed Forces Day, known also as the Feast of the Polish Armed Forces (Polish: Święto Wojska Polskiego), is a national holiday celebrated annually on 15 August in Poland, commemorating the anniversary of the 1920 victory over Soviet Russia at the Battle of Warsaw during the Polish–Soviet War. Armed Forces Day is held in conjunction with the Day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, itself a separate public holiday. The event is marked by military parades, equipment reviews, showcases and remembrances by all branches of the Polish Armed Forces across the country.

TK-3

The TK (also known as the TK-3) tankette was a Polish design produced from 1931 based on the chassis of the British Carden Loyd tankette, with an improved hull and more powerful engine, and armour up to 8 mm (0.31 in) thick (10 mm or 0.39 in on the TKS). In 1939, up-arming of the tankettes with Nkm wz.38 FK 20 mm (0.79 in) machine guns began, but only 24 of these were completed before the outbreak of World War II.

So far the hull is mostly done.
