Remembering Jesse Campbell
Jesse performed 26 years of honorable service, first in the US Navy, for four years, and then in the US Air Force. His specialty was EOD; he saw boots on the ground combat in Vietnam and retired from active duty as a Master Sergeant.
Jesse is one of ARA’s founding members. He and his Nevada Rangers successfully engaged the Nevada Legislature in a battle for USFSPA repeal. When the Governor signed that Bill into law, he thanked Jesse for his noble efforts.
Jesse also participated in the last Congressional USFSPA public hearings. His testimony caused at least two Nevada family law attorneys more than a little discomfort. One of them withdrew from the arena.
Jesse and Frank Ault became good friends, and now that they are both gone. We have their legacies to carry forward. We cannot afford to fail; too many brave warriors depend on us. We are at their service, in Congress and our State Legislatures where we work the USFSPA inequities, one provision at a time until the objective is achieved.
Our mission remains equal protection for military personnel in military divorce actions. Hostilities in Iraq and Afghanistan indicate clearly that USFSPA provisions are the root-cause, while heightened operations tempo serves as a catalyst; the consequences are too often tragic.
Jesse is survived by his loving Wife Ann and wonderful sons, daughters and grand children. We will miss him.

The
Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act
(USFSPA) was implemented ostensibly to protect
deserving uniformed service member former spouses.
Ironically, it created a class of service member
victims larger than those it was designed to
assist.
The
American Retirees Association (ARA) was founded in
1984 specifically to address the numerous
inequities found in Title 10 USC 1408 et seq
(USFSPA). ARA is a 501(c)(19) Veterans Support
Organization (VSO), chartered in California, as Tax
Exempt Corporation 1551226, with Federal Tax
Exemption ID 33-024676. Our field membership is
comprised of all male and female members of the
Uniformed Services, residing across the United
States and around the world.
