shyron Central Illinois Highway Renamed For Soldier Killed In Iraq

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH I don't understand, what are the guidelines for getting a soldier, killed in combat, celebrated by getting a local highway or street named after them. Not that this Iraq soldier didn't do anything that warranted his getting a highway named after him but what about Pfc. Lavena Johnson. It's a shame, after the story of her rape/murder cover-up by the U.S. Army was aired here in St. Louis, her work and dedication to her country hasn't been more, or just as celebrated by her… Continue

Network Administrator Father disputes Army's suicide finding in daughter's death - March 8 2009 - LA Times

Reporting from Florissant, Mo. -- Inside the tidy suburban St. Louis home of John and Linda Johnson, no photos of their eldest daughter grace the walls. Army Pfc. LaVena Johnson was just 19 when she died in Iraq in 2005; to this day her parents cannot bear to display reminders of her life. Johnson does not let his wife, Linda, and his four children see these images, but he studies the photos for hours at a time, trying to determine how his daughter died. Army investigators ruled that LaVena com… Continue

Network Administrator House Armed Services Committee - Skelton Statement on “Year of the Military Family” Resolution

Considering how Ike Skelton is ignoring the call for a new investigation of PFC Lavena Johnson's case, instead of asking the President to make some symbolic declaration is just that symbolic. How can you ignore the pain of families who have lost a loved one under the circumstances like PFC Johnson's case. Call Ike Skeleton's Press Secretary and tell Loren Dealy or Lara Battles we demand a new investigation now! 202-225-2539 Washington, DC – House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike S… Continue

Network Administrator "DEADLY WALL OF SILENCE"

Is there a growing trend of women in the military being raped and murdered? Are there cover-ups to keep the public out of touch with reality? I'm a veteran of the U.S. Army and member of the N.C. American Civil Liberties Union. I'm very concerned as a U.S. citizen and disturbed of the possible findings involving the death of Army PFC Lavena Johnson. She died in Balad, Iraq on July 19, 2005 at the age of nineteen. There appears to be an issue of the findings in this case which includes but not li… Continue

shyron What's Been Up

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know about the recent happenings in the fight for justice for our sister LaVena. After I talked to her father, Dr. John Johnson on Blogtalkradio last month, and he talked about everything that's been going on in the fight to have Congress investigate her case I haven't been myself. He divulged so much information, information I had no knowledge of. It affected me so much that I was rushed to the ER right after my talk with him and blogtalkradio. I was afraid I wa… Continue

Hey guys, this will be my first blog and I want my first blog here to be about my experience with blogtalkradio and Dr. John Johnson, the father of LaVena Johnson.

I must say it was so disheartening hearing first hand what he and his wife has and still are going through dealing with what has happe… Continue

OmUrLus The Uniform Code of Military Justice (flawed)

A veterans outcry: The protections of the Geneva Convention is suppose to shield our American Soldiers no matter what ground they may be called to duty upon or within. I was a sharp 11Charlie Infantryman meeting the challenges of a peace time soldiers story.
