Very nice and thanks for sharing
Few things caught my eye...of course, seeing the M1151 and M-ATVs. Love those dark green cool on them. It was interesting to see how the Polish military salute with their first two fingers. And love the look of the horsemen to the end...totally wants me to paint a figure of him.
Also, nice to see some of our guys in there honoring that nation. Those M1A2 with Crow looked awesome.
Anyway, even though i couldn't understand what they were saying, it was very nice indeed.

VERY NICE! I enjoyed seeing the US Equipment with the Polish & Russian vehicles.
I understood a good portion of the Polish language spoken in this video, as I picked up some Polish, as well as Russian, and a little bit of Czech, from my Dad. We spoke Ukrainian together, as he was from L'viv (Lvov, in Polish and Russian) in the Western Ukraine, (Galicia). I also had some formal schooling in the Ukrainian language, history and culture for about four years.
The Western Ukraine was under Polish Rule prior to WWII, so my Dad grew up speaking Ukrainian and Polish as a matter of course. Dad served in the Polish Army, first with the Cavalry, until his horse balked in front of an obstacle in an exhibition of the Polish Cavalry's considerable prowess. (Remember the Polish Lancers!) After his recovery, he served with the Polish Horse Artillery- He was in charge of three 7.5cm Howitzers. He, and a few of his fellow artillerymen were captured by the German Army, and consequently handed over to the SS, (which regarded the Poles as "Untermenschen"), suffering unspeakable misery and mistreatment at the hands of these pigs throughout the war. (Yes, I speak German as well, learned from my Mom and Grandma, who were German, plus some formal schooling)
Seeing the Polish Cavalrymen, in WWII-style Uniform, with the Polish Crimson Trim on their "Rogatiwki" (The Traditional "Square-topped" Service Caps) and Collar Facings), and the Dark Blue Horse Blankets, with Crimson Trim and emblazoned with the Polish National Eagle, were an endearing sight! I still have a colorized photo of Dad in his Artilleryman's Uniform- The Facings on his Collar, and the Head Band of his "Rogatiwka" are Dark Green, trimmed in Silver, denoting his Rank...

Great Parade! I wish we would do such parades on unification day. Am I seeing right that the camo pattern on the Rosomak has slight variations? And whats the T-72-like MBT?

Building a Rosomak is on my list of things to do.
I was pleased to see the small contingent of Canadian troops included, as well as all the troops from other NATO nations.

Thanks Piotr, one of these days I'll be able to figure out the difference in these humvees.
Also, thanks Pawel for telling me why they salute that way. It's nice to see they keep this tradition going
