Lawrence Reed to be Honored in Warsaw and Receive Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland

Wow! Well deserved Lawrence!

I have met Lawrence a few times in my life! I believe the first time at the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C. in the early 2000.

"... Reed has authored many articles about Poland and Polish heroes since his first of many visits to the country in November 1986, when it was still ruled by a communist dictatorship. His book, Real Heroes: Inspiring True Stories of Courage, Character and Conviction, includes several chapters on Polish heroes, including Witold Pilecki, Maria Sklodowska-Curie and Fr. Jerzy Popieluszko."
