The death in Iraq of PFC LaVena Johnson – ruled a suicide by the Army and vigorously disputed by her family – finds a brief mention in a proposed report recently released by the House Oversight and Governmental Reform Committee: Misleading Information from the Battlefield: The Tillman and Lynch Episodes. As the title indicates, the main subjects of the report are the death of Corporal Patrick Tillman in Afghanistan and the capture of Private Jessica Lynch in Iraq. LaVena’s case is mentioned in Section IX: Other Cases Brought to the Committee’s Attention, as is the suspicious death of Specialist Jesse Buryj of Canton, Ohio.
The Committee
This is a beginning. I’ll share this information with my blog readers later today…
Villager, thank you very much!
This is great news!
I contacted my reps yesterday regarding Ms. Johnson’s case and the petition has gathered 633 signatures so far.
Justice and truth will prevail.
Thank you so much for this valuable update.
In light and love

Danielle, that’s terrific. I knew your petition would get attention. You’ll hit you mark before you know it. :-)
