Campbell was serving as a Radio Telephone Operator with the 501st Infantry Regiment when, on May 6, 1968, his unit came under enemy fire when entering a village on patrol. Spec. 4 Campbell aided a wounded squad leader by coordinating the MEDEVAC of the squad leader, continuously exposing himself to intense enemy fire, then continued to provide suppressive fire for his unit while a successful counterattack was executed. For those actions, he is being awarded the Bronze Star Medal with "V" Device. (The "V" stands for Valor.)
