Our program, "Why the Drone Attacks Are Wrong", will feature Leah Bolger, who retired in 2000 from the U.S. Navy at the rank of Commander after twenty years of active-duty service. Her career took her to Iceland, Bermuda, Japan and Tunisia. She was the Navy Military Fellow at the MIT Security Studies program. Leah received an MA in National Security and Strategic Affairs from the Naval War College.

After retirement, she became very active in Veterans for Peace, including election as the first woman national president in 2012. Later that year, she met with the victims of U.S. drones strikes and subsequently created the “Drones Quilt Project,” a traveling exhibit which serves to educate the public and recognize the victims of U.S. combat drones. Currently she serves as the President of the Board of Directors of World BEYOND War
