» Za wolność naszą i waszą « — "For our freedom and yours"

The symbol in the image above, right, was that of the Polish Underground during the Second World War, in its struggle against German and Soviet occupation forces. Mr. Bakierowski continued to use the symbol in his correspondence during the postwar years because, as he wrote in September 1980, "I am still fighting today, to the best of my ability, not only for Poland, but also for America and the whole Free World."
