                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 21, 2003

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions 
and sacrifices of Lance Corporal Carr Campbell.
  Lance Corporal Campbell served in the liberation of Kuwait in 
Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. During the Gulf War he 
engaged in surveying borders, calling in artillery hits on scud missile 
sites, and gathering intelligence among Iraqi prisoners of war. Because 
of his stellar service in this conflict, Lance Corporal Campbell was 
awarded the Combat Action Ribbon, South West Asian Service Medal with 
three stars, Saudi Arabian Liberation of Kuwait Medal, and Kuwait 
Liberation of Kuwait Medal.
  At a time when we are once again at war, it is necessary to recognize 
the achievements of these national heroes. Due to their dedication, 
service, and sacrifice, they deserve our unwavering admiration and our 
unending gratitude.
  Our country often takes for granted the freedoms and liberties our 
service men and women risk their lives to protect; yet by continuing to 
honor our veterans we preserve our nation's future by commemorating 
their past.
  Thank you, Lance Corporal Campbell, for your service and sacrifice. 
You are a true hero.
