Genealogy / I'm half Polish American, but I'm very Patriotic about my ancestry [47]
Some of my Great grandparents came to America in 1914 from Kraków. Today my paternal family still has strong Polish roots. Now I am obsessed with my Polish heritage.
For instance in my new comic I've been working on there's a character who I implied is from a central-Eastern European nation, a composite of Poland, Hungary, Lithuania and some Czech. And stories I write always have a Polish token guy. I also am a fan of the Polish Winged Hussars (hence my name) and I am very defensive about my ancestors culture.
Does anyone else feel this way? I mean like American or descended Poles like myself. Is this patriotic feeling a normal one?
