Remembering Jersey City Councilman Michael Yun

On April 6th, 2020, Jersey City Councilman Michael Yun lost his battle with coronavirus.  The news saddened us greatly.

We remember how he stood with Polish Americans, together with Councilman Rich Boggiano, demanding that the Katyń Memorial remains forever on Exchange Place in Jersey City; how passionately he argued for the cause, understanding that educating future generations, warning them not to repeat atrocities of war, is the reason why monuments are erected, and that this function is more important than temporary profits.  He showed us how to find new friends and forge alliances.  We remember that we could always count on his wise advice, help and support for a noble cause.  RIP, Councilman Yun.
