General Pulaski Memorial Day is a United States holiday in honor of General Kazimierz Pułaski, a Polish hero of the American Revolution. This holiday is held every year on October 11 by Presidential Proclamation, to commemorate his death at the Siege of Savannah on October 11, 1779 and to honor the heritage of [[Poilsh American]s.

This is separate holiday from the regional holiday Casimir Pulaski Day that commemorates Pulaski's birth on March 4, 1747.

New York City has an annual Pulaski Day Parade and Grand Rapids, Michigan holds Pulaski Days at this time.

Some areas with large Polish populations celebrate Casimir Pulaski Day on the first Monday of every March, marking Pulaski's March 4, 1747 birth. Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana have state recognition of this holiday, which is particularly popular in Chicago and Milwaukee.
