MAJ. SHAWN M. CAMPBELL, 41, COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS

Maj. Shawn M. Campbell's mother, Donna McGrew, describes the father of four as a "great dad whose kids love him and he's wonderful husband."
Campbell attended high school in suburban Houston and then graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in microbiology.
In a family statement, McGrew said her son accepted a commission following his graduation and became a career Marine. She told the Houston Chronicle that Campbell served three tours in Middle East, the last in Iraq. He returned to the U.S. to be a flying instructor at Pensacola, Florida, and had transferred to Hawaii about two years ago.
He and his wife, Kelli, and their children, have been living near the Marine base at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
"My husband and I want everyone to know that this is not about us," McGrew said in the statement. "This is about the families that are suffering, and about all the sacrifices that our military members and their families make on a daily basis."
