Embassy Marks Anniversary Of The Passing Of Pope John Paul II
31 March 2006Ambassador Ashe and the U.S. Embassy staff join the many Poles and others around the world in remembering the passing of His Holiness John Paul II on April 2, 2005. President Bush said at his death, “Americans had special reason to love the man from Krakow. In his visits to our country, the Pope spoke of our "providential" Constitution, the self-evident truths about human dignity in our Declaration, and the "blessings of liberty" that follow from them. It is these truths, he said, that have led people all over the world to look to America with hope and respect.” The Embassy maintains solidarity with the Polish people as they honor his memory.
