To volunteer to serve a cause greater than ourselves propels the most noble of humans.
The formidable Agnieszka Wisła aka Wizła (1887–1980), a naturalized American of Polish birth, ranks among the best of them. A community organizer, an educational worker, a military nurse, a combat veteran, a charity volunteer, an innovative businesswoman, and, above all, a patriot both for Poland and America, Wisła blazed her way through life never giving up on her ideals and sticking to them through thick and thin to the detriment of her private existence and public relationships.
