 Volume/Number:  2014 October 10 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Jose L. Campos grew up in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago and joined the Marine Corps in 2002. With 3 overseas tours behind him as a Field Radio Operator, including a deployment to Afghanistan in 2006, he left the Corps. When discharged, Campos then returned to Illinois - and the Little Village - where he embarked on a new mission. As a member of the YMCA of Metro Chicagos Urban Warriors, he and other veterans met with and mentored at-risk youth to help them avoid the pitfalls of fractured neighborhoods, and to help combat veterans heal from combat experiences.
