The resolution honors Roman Rogalski, a Polish-born refugee who experienced the Nazi occupation of Warsaw and lived in various refugee camps before settling in the United States. After making Seattle his home in 1964, he contributed significantly to the community, including his work as a United States Army veteran, a retired Safeco employee, and a dedicated member of the Polish Home Association. His wife, Diana, was a respected pediatric endocrinologist at the University of Washington.

Roman's notable contributions include restoring and donating a dilapidated home to the Polish Community, marking the largest donation in the history of the Polish Home Association. This donation serves as a welcoming gathering place for diverse groups in Seattle. The resolution recognizes Roman and his wife as exemplary figures of resilience and generosity, highlighting their commitment to giving back to their adopted country. The Senate of the State of Washington commends and honors Roman Rogalski for his service and dedication to the community.
