We have seen this all before, and
they do come and go as Vets For Justice
keeps up this Forum page with the most
comprehensive news and information page
on the Internet today for activist Veterans.

This case will not likely prevail but
we give this lady a salute for giving
it the ole military try!

There has been little or nothing at
all which has changed since Dr. James
Peake has taken office as VA Secretary
and that is for sure, an astonishing
development. On Election Day, vote
on the entire past year that you have
seen in the news here at the Forum
for Vets for Justice because the
mere accumulation of what our war
generation has been put through in
the history of news stories is
enough to vote the Bums out and keep
them out for a good long time.

Good luck to this widow below.

Pa. widow sues US over Iraq vet-husband's suicide


PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The widow of a 23-year-old Iraq war veteran from Pennsylvania is suing the U.S. government over her husband's suicide.

Tiera Woodward blames the Veterans Administration for failing to provide her husband, Donald, with adequate mental-health care, despite earlier two suicide attempts. He killed himself in March 2006 after seeking help for depression at the VA Medical Center in Lebanon, a town about 25 miles east of Harrisburg.

The federal lawsuit, filed Monday, says that Woodward served in combat in Iraq from March to August of 2003.

A VA spokeswoman in Washington did not return a message Tuesday.
