To be fair it seems to have been mainly Polish American units
that did this.

Since no American units have ever been assembled based on ethnicity (with
Negro
units being the obvious exception), I find your above statement
ridiculous.

Well, the Nessi(sp?, Japanese Americans) in WWII pretty much had their
own unit. Then, back as far as the Civil War and possibly as late as the
Spanish American War, some units assembled themselves in a manner
that could be considered ethnic.
