PLEASANTON, Calif. — A 23-year-old Army medic from the San Francisco Bay area has been killed in Afghanistan along with five fellow members of the 101st Airborne Division based in Ft. Campbell, Ky.

Spc. Jameson Lindskog’s mother told the Contra Costa Times on March 31 that her son was shot while tending to injured soldiers from his unit, which came under attack Tuesday near Pakistan.

Donna Walker said her son joined the Army because he thought the medical training would help him pursue a career as a physical therapist. His four-year military commitment was scheduled to end in August 2012.

Lindskog graduated from Amador Valley High in Pleasanton, Calif., and split his time between his mother’s home and his father’s in nearby Livermore.

Two members of his unit died in the same attack. Army officials say three other members of the 101st Airborne also were killed March 29 during a military offensive in Kunar province

Army Spc. Jameson L. Lindskog was killed in action on 3/29/11.
