Just to let you know SSG Camacho is in my platoon and he is headed back to the states to recuperate. He was wounded when acting as Platoon Leader (normally a commissioned officers job) on a patrol. When last I saw him he was in good spirits but worried, not for himself, but for the Soldiers in our platoon he was leaving behind.
Ask any Soldier in our platoon who they admire the most and aspire to be like and it's SSG Camacho.
Hey ya’ll.... I’m in SSG Camacho’s platoon... thought you’d like to know that he is headed home finally.... with his FIFTH Purple Heart!! He said that he doesn’t want to leave his Soldiers but the medics say he has to go home.
