Sergeant First Class Tricia Jameson died July 14, 2005, when a roadside explosive detonated near her ambulance near Trebil, Iraq. As her ambulance approached to aid wounded Marines who had been attacked by a roadside bomb, another explo­sive detonated, killing Jameson. Jameson was stationed at a 313th Medical Company (Ground Ambulance) remote site for the Lincoln, Nebraska, National Guard in west­ern Iraq, where she and fellow Soldiers were supporting convoy missions moving throughout the area in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Jameson was buried with full military honors at Bohemian National Cemetery in Omaha, Nebraska, with Major General Roger Lempke, Nebraska’s adjutant general, in attendance. Colleagues held a memorial service in her honor in north-central Iraq with Soldiers from the 36th Medi­cal Evacuation Battalion at Forward Operating Base Speicher and another at Al Asad Air Base in western Iraq.
