Remembering Marla Ruzicka

Marla's self-assigned mission in life was to help innocent people who are caught in the crossfire of armed conflict. So, perhaps it was fitting, in the brutally impersonal way of the universe, that Marla herself became an innocent victim of war. On Saturday, April 16, Marla was killed in a car bomb attack as her vehicle traveled along the road to the Baghdad airport. She was 28 years old.

So fearless and brave, helping victims of war. I sure wish I had her boundless courage. For more on Marla, see the story
May she rest in peace. Who will follow in her footsteps so the least of these people will not be forgotten?
