History
SWAP Branch #57 in Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1928.
During World War I the Polonia in the United States and Canada provided more than 28,000 volunteers to the Polish Army in France. About 14,500 returned after the War to America. In May 1921, at a convention in Cleveland the veterans founded the SWAP. Its first president was Teofil Starzyński, an outstanding activist with the Polish Falcons.[1]

gollark: I was considering a maze as the "challenge" to uninstall potatOS.
