January/February 2015 Bronze Relief
New Castle County, Delaware, Chapter 83 AVVA member and Gold Star representative Judy C. Campbell sent us more detail on the Chernak sculpture. In fact, she was the one who commissioned Chernak to create a bronze relief honoring the memory of her brother, Spec.4 Keith A. Campbell. Fort Sam Houston is the home of military medicine, and the artwork was hung in the library that had been rededicated in his honor, the Keith A. Campbell Library. Next to the bronze is a photo of Keith Campbell, along with his citation for the Distinguished Service Cross, the military’s second-highest award.
The bronze plaque depicting his heroism was unveiled at the library on January 7, 2009. Keith Campbell’s mother, Esther B. Gates, and his sister Judy attended the ceremony, as did many family and friends, as well as the sculptor and his wife. Maj. Gen. Russell Czerw, the commanding general of Fort Sam Houston and the Army Medical Department Center and School, delivered remarks.
