                        Wednesday, July 29, 2020

  Mrs. LESKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life of John 
Campbell from Goodyear, Arizona.
  John married his wife, Wally, on June 17, 1967, and they spent 53 
wonderful years together. He was a loving father to Suzanne Wininger, 
Steve Brown, Stuart Brown, and John Campbell II, a grandfather to 
seven, and a great-grandfather to seven.
  John proudly served our great nation in the United States Air Force 
for twenty-four years. He retired as an accomplished aviator, earning 
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
  During his time in service, John acquired a long list of achievements 
and awards including spending over 6,000 hours flying the Air Force KC-
135 as a Master Navigator, the meritorious service medal with one leaf 
cluster, the Air Medal with four leaf clusters, and the Republic of 
Vietnam Campaign Medal.
  After retirement, he continued to serve his community as a deputy 
registrar of contractors for the California Contractors State Licensing 
Board. He also served as a member of Ben Ali Shrine, the Union Kit 
Carson Lodge No. 58, the National Sojourners, and New Hope OES. He was 
a proud life member of both the American Legion AWO and the Military 
Officers Association of America.
  On this day, we as a community would like to thank Mr. Campbell for 
his service to his country, and pray for his family and loved ones 
during this time of mourning.
