Julian Campbell (Ken Brown)
Cullman Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) member Julian Campbell (98), gave a one-hour talk about his flying career to a history class at Wallace State Community College on Tuesday. Campbell told students about growing up here in the 20s and 30s, going through pilot training in the early 40s and piloting 40 B-26 Bomber missions in Europe in 1943. Campbell transitioned to transports and flew combat missions in the Pacific. He remained in service during the Korean War and again flew combat missions in Vietnam. He concluded his talk by taking questions on a host of subjects from both the students and their teacher, Leigh Ann Courington.
Col. Campbell is still committed to his country and his community and is still serving both at the age of 98. Our students got a real history lesson this week from a living legend and true American Hero.
