                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 2, 2004

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, it is with sadness that I inform the House 
of the death of Spc. Michael Curtis Campbell of Marshfield, MO. Spc. 
Campbell was killed when his combat patrol was attacked with an 
improvised explosive device and small arms fire near Samarra, Iraq.
  Spc. Campbell chose to serve his country early. Upon graduating from 
St. Paul's Lutheran High School in Concordia, MO, in 1988, he entered 
the United States Navy where he spent four years, serving during 
Operation Desert Storm.
  As a member of the National Guard, Spc. Campbell was called to serve 
following the September 11th terrorist attacks. He was first tasked 
with hauling debris from the remains of the World Trade Center. He was 
assigned to Headquarters Troop, 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 1st 
Infantry Division, in Schweinfurt, Germany. He arrived in Germany in 
December, 2003, and left for Iraq in February of this year.
  Mr. Speaker, Spc. Michael Campbell answered the call to service when 
his country needed him most. I know the Members of the House will join 
me in offering condolences to his friends and family.
