I was very excited to do a search and found this site with the memorial and my dad's name on it. His Name was Edwin G Campany. He was a wonderful father who raised his 8 children by himself after spending two years in Viet Nam and coming home. I know how much the military police meant to him as he often talked about some of the things they did. After retiring in 1970, He became a village police in our village of Lowville, NY. He was very well known and liked. As we just marked the second anniversary of his death, I have thought of him often and how he taught us to live the army way. Supper always at 5:00pm. Never be late, of course we were all late because dad kept his big ben clock ten minutes fast. He was instrumental in getting a Veterans of Foreign Wars started here in Lowville which will be celebrating their 50th reunion in spring of 2010. He was also very involved in the Lowville Elks and was Elk of the year in 1993/1994. He suffered over ten years with colon, rectal, and prostate cancer. We lost our youngest brother due to a doctor cutting his bowels during a hernia mesh repair on Dec. 16, 2006 and dad finally gave up his fight. He never thought that he would bury his own son, because of all the surgeries he had. I have some of the comadations that were given to dad and a few pictures of Viet Nam and I will cherish them forever and then pass them down to my daughter then to her daughter. Again thank you so much for this website with the memorial. Patricia Peebles
