Reports are that at this time there are 31 alledged "suicides" being investigated across the United States!
The battle cry...
"Making the words "suicide" and "veteran" synonymous
creates the perfect blueprint for Murder."
Brians last mission in life comes in his death, because the mishandled case of
SPC Brian Patrick Shaver, a US Soldier who fought in the very Triangle of Death, should, at least, be a call for ALL Soldiers to be granted DIGNITY in Death.
Honor Brian by speaking out against "Death Determination Without Autopsy".
Already, my son's death has brought change locally, as the County has now added to the requirement of being Coroner, you have to attend a class a year. It is the of time spent picking one's nose for a year, but hey, it's a start. ;)
Praise God!
Before, the requirement for the position of Coroner for St. Clair County, Alabama was "Residency, G.E.D, being on the ballot". These "requirements", or lack thereof, have been widespread, but hopefully, laws will change the requirements within each State for each County Coroner.
We are currently preparing the "Brian Patrick Shaver Act" to prevent further apathy in the system when it comes to Offices of such nature as Coroner.
Thank this man for serving in foreign land, for bleeding on foreign soil,
by helping him prevent murders in our communities, our hospitals, our Nursing Homes...in our VERY homes, by supporting
Mandatory Autopsy Law.
I personally wish to thank my son for introducing me to Rizpah, and Molly Brown, and Mother Mary.

Since my son died in a horrible manner,
after surviving Falluja and Al Yusafia.
But a Mother's heart knows her child better than anyone else,
I will continue to fight for Justice for my son.
In the meantime, I have been contacted by many, many,
Mothers and wives who have doubts, and fears,
and feelings deep inside that something
just wasn't right in the loss of their loved ones.
I never knew the death of my beloved baby boy, my first born,
the child I grew up with, would take me down the road to try
and help others out there who are feeling the pain, the loss,
and knowing in their hearts something just wasn't right.
KNOW THIS:
My son was raised knowing that the day would come
when he would stand and fight for his country.
I will SEE TO IT that the people responsible for his dishonorable death
PAY for the beautiful life they took.
I have God's promise on that.
To you, my friends, I can only say, you must walk in Faith.
I know that your faith, your questioning God,
will be a hard thing to rebuild.
But, BUILD it.
HEBREWS 11:7-11
Truth will come, peace will come, comfort will come.
Get on your knee's and begin thanking him NOW!
I know EXACTLY how you feel.
I wrote it once.
Read this, relate, and then "Let God":
~ ~ ~ Sorrow ~ ~ ~
Spiraling upward from the darkness of sleep,
awakened by a woman's scream,
I sat up on the edge of my bed,
in the twilite of a dream.
I stood and tried to take a step,
thats when I realized,
the scream had come from within my heart,
and tears streamed from my eyes.
My body went limp and I fell to the floor,
sobbing uncontrollably,
the sorrow hit with such a force,
that my soul took leave of me.
~ ~ ~
And God said:
1 ¶Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
.2 O my God, I trust in thee:
let me not be ashamed,
let not mine enemies triumph over me.
.3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:
for thou art the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Remember, O LORD,
thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.
.7 Remember not the sins of my youth,
nor my transgressions:
according to thy mercy
remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

Sometimes, this is exactly how I feel.
Thank you Thomas Blackshear

There are times when I cry until I puke, but in my bathroom,
in a frame on the shelf above the toilet...
there is a picture of Brian that says
"Mom, get up.
Be the fighter I always knew you were".
This, is that photo:
Take comfort Mothers, Wives...they never leave you.
Just when you think they aren't close,
something will happen to let you know they are.
PRAY.
