The bleak refusal of Army investigators in response to the Johnsons’ call for a renewed investigation of LaVena’s death has been well-noted here and elsewhere on the Web. LaVena’s case is just one of many, however; stories of other soldiers whose deaths are shrouded in secrecy, and whose loved ones still await investigation and explanation by military authorities, are coming to light. In May of 2007, this website noted an article by Diane Farsetta, senior researcher for the Center for Media and Democracy, titled
Deaths awaiting answers

that is so sad how come she died that quick
I am just sick about how the U.S. Military has put the Johnson family
through Hell and back.
They military as a whole needs to take accountiblity for what is going on and stop trying to cover up the fact that we do have bad people serving in out armed forces.
Shame on them all !
I am so sad to the core for John and Linda, as a mother that has lost a child, under NO-investigation, in the Army, I know what you are feeling.
My heart goes out to you.
I do hope that the army opens the case again…..but five years have past a lot of time wasted
hi my name is celine i am 17 i am from algeria i am so sorry about your daughters she was so young she don’t deserve that but god only know the truht and the truth will be showed .
RIP lavena
Dr. and Mrs. Johnson I wanted you to know that I met LaVena when she in Kuwait before heading to Iraq. Please know you all are constantly in my prayers as you all continue to fight for justice for her. I will continue to stop by and check for updates as often as I can. Your daughter was an amazing person and a dedicated soldier. Remain strong through this and allow the Lord to continue to carry you through this.
Hopefully you can help me. My friends did on October 19,2011. I was told it was a suicide but its not like him. He was found in his barracks but no one heard a gun shot. There are other circumstances that do not add up. Maybe we can help each other. My email is an old email but please contact me if you can. -THANK YOU
Today is Mar 22nd 2012 and I’m just hearing about this story for the first time…my God, what kind of world do we live in and who do we have running this country???? I’m so upset about this and let me say that my heart goes out to the Johnson Family. I put this out on twitter asking ppl to Google it. I said with the senseless killings of TrayvonMartin and LaVena and the authorative ppl in power that cover it up and protect the guilty…I dont know what I’m saying right now…real emotional…just angry. Please pray that God gives you (Johnson Family) the courage to keep fighting and the love and power to keep the family together.
