CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Colleagues and family members of a Fort Campbell medic who died earlier this month in Afghanistan said he was dedicated to helping others on the battlefield.

Pfc. Jonathan David Hall, 23, died April 8 from wounds suffered a day earlier when his vehicle was hit in eastern Afghanistan. He was assigned to 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division.

Tennessee Army National Guard Capt. Jim Ridings told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that Hall was accepted into a special enlistment program that allows people without prior military service to join the Guard, then do a stint in the active-duty Army.

Ridings said Hall’s focus was to help other people, whether it was treating a small blister or a major wound.
