During World War II, Nowak served as an envoy between the commanders of the Home Army and the Polish government in exile, earning the nickname Courier from Warsaw. After the war he headed the Polish section of Radio Free Europe for a quarter of a century and served as an advisor to U.S. presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. In 1975, he moved to the United States and joined the Congress of Polish Immigration on America. He passed away on January 20, 2005. /The Nowak-Jeziorański Service Award is the second award of three annual awards the Embassy is announcing this year. In January, the embassy announced that Lech Wałęsa was the first winner of the Jan Karski Freedom Award. In June, the Embassy will announce the first winner of the Czesław Miłosz Award for Contributions to U.S-Polish Understanding. The award, named after the Polish author and Nobel Prize winner for Literature, will be presented to an individual dedicated to promoting improved cooperation and understanding between the people of the United States and Poland."...
