HONORING THE LIFE OF TECHNICAL SERGEANT ANTHONY C. CAMPBELL
(Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of
Technical Sergeant Anthony C. Campbell, an Air Force Reservist and
Cincinnati police officer from Florence, Kentucky. Sergeant Campbell
made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our Nation on December 15,
2009, in Afghanistan while serving with the 932nd Civil Engineer
Squadron.
Tony Campbell was a model citizen and patriot. His dream was to serve
in the military and in law enforcement. After graduating from Boone
County High School in 1992, he joined the U.S. Air Force. After active
duty, he spent 10 years working as a pipefitter and Air Force Reservist
before fulfilling his dream to become a Cincinnati police officer. Tony
was recalled to active duty and deployed to Afghanistan in October of
2009.
Today, as we honor the service of this exceptional Kentuckian, my
heartfelt prayers are with Tony's wife, Emily, their children, Jordan,
Ryker and Devin, and his loving parents. We are all indebted to Tony
for his bravery, dedication, and willingness to answer the Nation's
call to defend freedom.
