Omaha, Nebraska
Tricia L. Jameson''s overwhelming desire to help people showed itself in her work as a medic and in her decision to volunteer to help developmentally disabled children _ even in the medical kit she kept in her car. "She would have everything in there in case of a wreck or something," said Holly Freeman, a friend. "She would call me and say, ''I almost got to help someone but someone beat me there.'' It''s what she wanted." Jameson, 34, of Omaha, Neb., was killed July 14 when a roadside explosive detonated near her ambulance near Trebil as she rushed to the aid of three wounded Marines. She was based at Lincoln. Jameson was a 1989 high school graduate and attended Central Community College at Columbus in 1990-91. She had been a health care specialist at the Nebraska National Guard air base clinic in Lincoln before volunteering for deployment to Iraq. Freeman said her friend thrived on adventure. The two of them would push themselves to the limit when they would go skiing, "getting-up early, wearing yourself out, then going out and doing it again the next day." She is survived by her mother, Patricia Marsh.
It will be 20 years next month since we lost Trish. Hard to believe. Seems like only last month. Dating her and living with her was my privilege. Wonderful soul. She was so focused on properly training medics and service to country. Half of the time, I feel like the world is better for what she contributed, and half of the time, I feel the world is worse for her loss. I miss her. -Tony

I can still see you sitting in your ambulance in the field. Always a smile. Always a greeting. You were in my Guard unit and a care giver to my cousin.
