Army Staff Sgt. Damion G. Campbell, 23, of Baltimore; assigned to the 1st Battalion, 508th Infantry Regiment, Vicenza, Italy; killed Aug. 26 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his Humvee during a combat patrol in Khayr Kot, Afghanistan.
HE WAS THE SECOND NATIVE BORN JAMAICAN FROM BALTIMORE TO DIE
He was born in Jamaica, his mother, Donna Robinson said. He was in the Boy Scouts and later joined JROTC in high school.
“The Army was his passion. It was all he wanted to do,” she said. “He was outgoing, fun-loving and joyful person.”
She said her last time communicating with her son was by e-mail the day before his death. His 11-year-old brother, Nicholas, wanted a video game console, and Damion sent him $100 to get the popular hand held video game system.
“I have no bad feelings about the army,” said his mother. “He was happy, very energetic and just enjoyed life. My child loved the Army.”
