Capt. Lynnwood Campbell, U.S. Army: “I decided at 12 years old that I wanted to be a captain in the Army. I was in JROTC in high school and ROTC in college. Upon my college graduation in 1970, I received a commission as a finance officer. I was assigned to the Military District of Washington D.C., where part of my duties was to act as a survivor assistance officer. Five times I was tasked with telling parents that their sons were killed in the line of duty. After completing my active duty commitment, I joined the 2290th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) unit as finance officer. I had a great experience in the military and along with Nelson Greene Jr. convinced the Alexandria School Board and the Army to create the JROTC program at T.C. Williams High School. My service was a privilege and I would do it all again.”
