Although the United States observes official holidays like Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day, there is no special occasion to remember all of the peace activists who have died serving the innocent victims of war. Marla Ruzicka was one of them. On April 16, 2005, after years of working in war zones like Afghanistan and Iraq, Marla was killed by a car bomb in Baghdad.
On this edition, we take a look at Marla’s life and work, through the words of some of her many friends and colleagues.
