Obviously her employer had never been a Marine.  The Supreme Court might not recognize Ms. Campbell&#8217;s sacrifice for the honor of veterans, but we, here at This Ain&#8217;t Hell will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We wrote about her in August 2010 and again in March of this year but I &hellip; <a title=\"Melissa Campbell; The only casualty of US v.
