Individuals USwww.mysanantonio.com -- A Fort Hood soldier with San Antonio ties was one of three GIs killed last weekend in Iraq.

Cpl. Jason B. Daniel, 21, of Fort Worth died Sunday when a roadside bomb detonated in Taji, a town in the Sunni Triangle long known as a hotbed of the Iraqi insurgency.

"He was a combat medic," Fort Sam Houston spokesman Phil Reidinger said Wednesday night. "Combat medic training is a tough course, 16 weeks long, and only the best graduate."

Daniel was the 46th soldier from the 4th Infantry Division to die in Iraq since it began its second tour there late last year. Two others, Sgt. Robert W. Ehney, 26, of Lexington, Ky., and Cpl. Shawn T. Lasswell Jr., 21, of Reno, Nev., were killed when an improvised explosive device, or IED, detonated near their Humvee during combat operations.

Their names are the last three listed under a section of the division's Web site titled, "In memory of our fallen soldiers."

As of Wednesday, 21,090 troops had died or been injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of the casualties have come in Iraq, with 2,393 dead and 17,762 wounded.

Little was known Wednesday night about Daniel, whose death was revealed earlier in the afternoon by the Defense Department.

A newspaper, the Seguin Gazette-Enterprise, cited family members as saying Daniel was born in San Antonio and raised in Crowley, near Fort Worth. The paper also said Daniel met his wife in Crowley, but it did not identify the relatives.

Reidinger said he could not confirm the information and that Daniel's immediate family, who live in the McQueeney area, "have indicated they are not ready" to talk with media or issue a public statement.

No one this week has answered phone calls placed to a person believed to be a relative, and his wife could not be reached either. Reidinger declined to release her name but said she is an Army Reserve medic training at Fort Sam.

If Daniel was a San Antonio native, he would be the 16th person claiming the Alamo City as his home to die in Iraq.

Funeral arrangements were pending.

It wasn't clear when Daniel trained at Fort Sam, the Army's home of combat medic training. The post produces around 9,000 combat medics a year, with as many as seven in 10 sent to Iraq or Afghanistan.

"He died executing the mission that he was trained for, being with his fellow soldiers and standing ready to provide medical treatment to casualties," said Reidinger, a retired Army infantry officer. "He was up front and with the soldiers. That's where he belonged, and that's where he would have wanted to be."
