Forts are a lasting tribute to the prominence of the US military, and Fort Pulaski stands among these magnificent fortresses.

Casimir Pulaski, Revolutionary War hero and father of the US Cavalry, which endured some of the most damaging artillery combat in early American warfare.

Ultimately, the fort was considered important enough to be preserved and designated a national monument.
