Nearly 2,000 people packed a Florence church Tuesday to pay their respects to Anthony Campbell.
Campbell was a Cincinnati police officer who was killed in Afghanistan on Dec. 15.
Campbell was remembered as a dedicated officer, a servant to his country, and above all else, a husband and father to his three children.
Campbell was a bomb technician. He died while he was escorting his unit safely around an improvised explosive device. The roadside bomb went off, killing the Air Force Reservist.
During Tuesday’s memorial service, Campbell was honored with the bronze medal of valor.
“By his heroic actions and unselfish dedication to duty in the service of his country, Sgt. Campbell has reflected great credit on himself and the United State Air Force,” said Brig. Gen. Robert Bailey.
Campbell was also recognized for his service to the Cincinnati Police Department. He was on the force only two weeks before he was deployed to Afghanistan.
Anthony will be honored on April 9th with a Let Us Never Forget Scholarship.See events for details.
