Ann Wright, Colonel USA (ret), with degrees in both law and national security affairs, served 13 years in the US Army and 16 additional years in the Army Reserves. She was an officer in the Foreign Service from 1987 until 2003 when she resigned in protest of U.S. policy in the Middle East. Since then, Ann has been writing and working for peace. Continuing to work and write for peace, Col. Wright has traveled to Iran and Afghanistan as a citizen diplomat, has made three trips to Gaza, and was one of 14 US citizens on the Gaza Flotilla that was attacked by Israeli commandos in May of this year.
