Summary

LaVena was 19 years old and fresh out of high school when she was deployed to Balad, Iraq with the US Army. Within just a few months of her deployment, LaVena was dead. The Army called it a suicide and asked everyone to kindly move on, nothing to see here, folks! But her dad, Dr. John Johnson, was noticing things that just didn't add up with the Army's story. He fought them for all of the information they had on her death, and once he received the information, he could not believe what he was seeing. There was just no way this was a suicide...
