Pfc. LaVena Johnson
In my first post, I mentioned Pfc. LaVena Johnson, who died away in 2005 at the age of nineteen and her death was ruled a suicide. The autopsy performed on her revealed wounds that were inconsistent with suicide but showed sign of chemical burns that were meant to destroy evidence of rape. Think about this young solider, I decide to look up some more information on her. I stumbled on a website on her and browsed through it. The site hasn't been updated in a while but I really enjoy looking it through and learning more about her. In the "About" section of the website, her father, Dr. John H. Johnson, wrote a biography of her life and it was very heartwarming to read. Also, there is a trailer for a documentary about tells the story of LaVena's life called " The Silent Truth". Here is the trailer:
