I know it will seem odd to see a reflection by someone with the same name but I googled my name and found this page about Officer Jason Campbell. I read a few of the reflections and felt that I had to write something. My hat goes off to you for your dedication to protecting the citizens of your community. I read a quote today that said a veteran is someone who has written a blank check to the United States of America for any amount up to and including their life. This also applies to peace officers. I am proud to share my name with a hero. Thank you.

Hey Jason. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you on this anniversary. I can't believe it has already been a year. Rest in peace brother and thank you for your service.

I can't believe one year has already past. I remember the day vividly. Know that you touched the lives of so many people and that we will never forget you. I pray for your family each day. I am amazed everyday by Chantel's strength, and enjoy the pics she sends of the kids. They are growing so fast. Thank you for protecting and serving.

Jason: I hate that I didn't get to know you in life. I see your wife every school day - you must be proud! She's carries on, head held high, beautiful, with your strength guiding her every step. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her and your children, sending as positive a thought their way as I can. I can't believe it's almost been a year. So much has changed - so little has changed. Keep watching over your beautiful wife and kids - visit them often in their dreams and know you will never be forgotten, just missed terribly.

Jason,
We had a foot chase the other night nearby to your final resting place. I knew you were right there with us on that one. Afterward, we talked about how you helped us catch our man.

You and I were paired up a lot those last couple weeks before the accident. It was great to be back on the same unit with you again. I think about that last week a lot. There are not too many people I could have had a good time with doing surveillance for hours on end from a car or some vacant apartment.

I know your family takes great comfort in knowing what kind of officer and person you were. They should also know that you still have an "IMPACT" on our unit on a daily basis.

I look forward to seeing you again one day. We will once again tie up our skates and hit the ice for a day of hockey. Miss you buddy.

It is always so very unfortubate to lose a brother in arms. Least we all forget the ultimate sacrifice he and his family have made. I have been and watched a life dwindle away and the reality of the loss set in. My heart goes out to the family and the community each and everyday for those who lost it all. i'll say my prayers tonight with a special prayer and thought that all was not lost but the special love and memories will forever burn in the hearts of all.

Happy Birthday Jason! Today is an especially important day to be thankful for your birth. I am so glad to have shared 35 years of life with you - I continue to carry you with me daily. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you and your impact on your family and community. Mom, Dad, Joseph, Dan, and I will gather tonight to celebrate your birthday (and life) at the Brazilian Steak house you loved so much. Your cake is ordered and it says: Live, Love, Laugh, & Eat - All of the things you enjoyed! You are loved & missed.

Jason,
Chris and I talk about you often. Although I did not know you well, you have had an impact on our marriage. When he walks out the door to go to work we make sure to say I love you, we make sure not to go to work or bed angry. You were taken away from your family way too soon and with the work you guys do it is always a possibility. Chantel- you have the support of the Police wives and if at any time you need something you know you can call any of us. You are family. We pray for you, you are a strong woman and knowing Jason is with God helps make the days a little easier to bear.

Jason - Though I have not left a post in quite some time, I just want you to know that you are not forgotten still. Every time I pass a car with a bumpersticker in memory of you I am reminded of how we really are a family. I am reminded of all that you sacrificed to help keep us safe, and I am reminded of the sacrifice your family has made as well. My prayers continue to go out to your family. Thank you for everything.

I will always love you baby. You are forever in my heart. I know you watch over us each day. We need you to keep doing that. It's a crazy world down here. I can't wait to see you again one day. We love you soooo much and miss you tremendously but know you are in an awesome place doing wonderful things for the glory of God. We will NEVER forget you. You were very special and truly one of a kind.

Jason, I thought of you during the Christmas holiday and my heart went out to your wife Chantel and your children. I just sat there for a few minutes and thought about you, about how much I wish you were still here with us.

I spoke with John Guard and told him about how during thanksgiving at my parents house we all took turns praying. When it came my turn to pray I was overwealmed with thoughts of you and your family. I told him how I prayed and thanked God that I was here kept safe through another year in this job. How I was thankful that I was able to know you as a friend. Sometimes we all take things for granted, the simple things like being alive and hugging our children. I stood there and cried talking about you to God and thanking him for everything that I have. I soon realized everyone in my family was crying too, they didnt even know you but they were all crying. afterwards I was able to show them the black band that is on my right wrist, which I wear in your memory.

we all miss you very much, you were taken from us way too soon. I know that you are in a better place. I pray for your family , that God will give them the grace that only he can give.

by the way, John , he really misses you alot. He is good at hiding it, but I can see it. He has taken this hard. He said Duck Season just hasnt been the same this year. If you get a chance , pay him a visit. I think it would be good for him.

again we all miss you, thank you for reminding me just how preacious life is. I love you brother and one day I'll see you on the other side.

Chantel,
You are in my thoughts everyday. I can't even imagine what you feel. I do know that you are loved by so many and that Jason is watching over you and the kids everyday. Monty and I want you to know that we are here for you ALWAYS! I found this poem and thought of Jason. He is one of a kind and missed very much.

"Christmas in Heaven"

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below. With tiny lights like Heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music cannot compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring, for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart. But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear, and be glad I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send each of you a special gift from my heavenly home above, I send each of you a memory of my undying love,
After all love is a special gift more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories that Jesus told.

Please love each other as the Father said to do, for I cannot count the blessings or the love He has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Love to you and the kids...

God is giving her strength that she did not know she had! Chantel if you need anything let me know. Maybe a lunch or just a chat on the phone please call. 252-341-1890. Life is a challenge but with God on our side we cant go wrong.

Well baby, it's our first Christmas without you. I miss you soooo much I can't hardly stand it sometimes. The only thing that gets me through it is knowing that you are in Heaven. Even though this Christmas is very hard for me and the kids I know it's your first Christmas in Heaven and that is awesome. We cannot begin to imagine what that would be like but we know that you are getting to experience that this year. Just know that we will always love you and we will see you again one day. Continue to watch over us and protect us and be our guardian angel. We will never forget you 288.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
