The petition to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees asking the members of those bodies to direct the Army to revisit the investigation of the suspicious death of Pfc. LaVena Johnson is once again open for signatures and supportive comments. This reopening of the petition comes just one day after its announced closing. The reason for the reversal is that LaVena’s father, Dr. John Johnson, requested that the petition remain open for a while longer. I am more than happy to oblige him in this.
An earlier goal for this petition effort was ten thousand names; that mark was met and surpassed, and the current count stands at just over twelve thousand signatories. I hope that the additional time given the open period of the petition will result in even more public support for the effort to uncover the truth behind LaVena’s death.
No new deadline for the end of the name-gathering phase has set; that info will be posted here and elsewhere as soon as it has been determined.
Thank you, again, for your attention and support.
I am absolutely floored by the circumstances surrounding this tragic death. The condition of this soldier’s body demands further investigation as to the actual events leading up to her death and the true cause of death. My heart goes out to her family and I pray that her soul can find rest.
