Widow of Iraq Vet. Sues US Gov.
-------------------------------



The widow of a young Iraq veteran who took his own life has sued the US
government. Twenty-three-year-old Donald Woodward was in Veterans
Administration care when he committed suicide. He had previously tried
to kill himself on three previous occasions. Woodward’s wife, Tiera
Woodward, says she’s launched the suit to improve mental health
treatment for US veterans.
