Polish Combatants' Association (United States)

Stowarzyszenie Polskich Kombatantów w Stanach Zjednoczonych, SPK),[1] organized in 1952, formally founded a year later, and terminated in 2012, was a Polish-American association for veterans of the Polish Armed Forces in the West during World War II.

The Association's President Janusz Krzyżanowski currently serves as the chairman of its liquidation committee, working to create a scholarly source of information about the SPK.

Most of the future members of the SPK arrived in the U.S. after the U.S. Congress passed a 1948 law, amended in 1950, which allowed the immigration of Polish soldiers who were demobilized in Great Britain.

The SPK published the quarterly Kombatant w Ameryce, which informed members of organizational matters as well as the misery of the Polish Nation under communism and international events.

The veterans who belonged to the SPK maintained the graves of Polish soldiers who fell on the European battlefields, located in Italy, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, among others.
