“Ważne z kim podróżujesz” – to hasło przewodnie obecnej kampanii polskich linii lotniczych LOT. Jestem zaszczycony, że w mojej podróży trafiłem do Muzeum Polskiego w Chicago, na cudownych ludzi z nim związanych.
Bardzo liczę na to, że wspólna podróż Polonii z Chicago i Lotu będzie kontynuowana.
Życzę Państwi dalszych sukcesów w Państwa działalności i podtrzymywania ducha polskości!Z wyrazami szacunku,
