A quick check of the Justice for LaVena Johnson petition authored by activist Danielle Vyas and hosted at the Care2 petition site – addressed to Congress and the President – shows that it is just 45 signatures shy of its goal of 3000! Excellent work, Danielle! If you haven’t stopped by to lend your name to the list, please take a couple of minutes to do so.

Private LaVena Johnson Military Iraq Rape and Killing
Private in the U.S. Army serving in Iraq upon duty,
Body burned by someone from her own military base.
Nineteen year old minor in service for her nation,
Never to reach 21, where one becomes this full adult.
Another body bag they claimed committed suicide
With trauma mark bruises,
this family needs our support now. A true accounting of Lavina’s death must be revealed
through an independent investigation. The military cannot investigate itself impartially. This is the proper time to bring the politicians, who claim to be on the side
of justice, out of hiding. Funny how this nation is fighting on two and possibly three fronts for the justice of those in Iraq and Afghanistan and soon Georgia, while our own
sons and daughters are falling victim to injustices and degradation on the home front and on the battlefield.
….I just have to say, may precious LaVena Johnson rest in peace. I am going to post her story on all my blogs and send to everyone i know. When I first read about this i felt sick to my stomach and her face hasnt left my mind since last night.
May she rest in peace, and to her family and friends, i know she is smiling down on all of you. She is no longer in pain. Stay strong for her, I am sorry for your loss, and for the loss of the world; for any time a sweet and wonderful soul is taken from us, especially in such a horrible way, the world becomes a less beautiful place.
Rest In Peace Lavena. I didn’t know you, but you are missed.
Love and Peace,
Megan
