Nation and the citizens of the Twenty-Fourth District of Texas, the

of the Gold German Armed Forces Badge for Military Proficiency.
  After his service in the U.S. Army, Mr. Campbell continues to devote 
himself to bettering our community. He currently serves as Vice-

served as Commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 10454 and

State of Texas, and the United States of America.
