7 men resisted the urge to to seek #AmazingDeals with the #WomenFolk (#PurseHolders) and stepped into the #FrigidGloom for a #RedFriday tribute to some unsung heroes, the Army Medic.  Today’s workout was in honor of US Army Specialist, Jameson L. Lindskog:

US Army (101. Airborne) Specialist, Jameson L. Lindskog , 23, of Pleasanton, Calif., assigned to 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Ky., died March 29 in the Sarkani district of Kunar province, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when enemy forces attacked his unit with small-arms fire.

Lindskog entered the Army in August 2008 and arrived at Fort Campbell in April 2009. He was a Combat Medic, assigned to Headquarters and headquarters Company.

His awards and decorations include: Army Commendation Medal; Army Achievement Medal; National Defense Service Medal; Afghanistan Campaign Medal; Global War on Terrorism Service Medal; Army Service Ribbon; Overseas Service Ribbon and NATO Medal.
