During a break in the second quarter of Sunday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars, the Buccaneers took a moment to honor a distinguished group of military members and their families. Today, that included a very special surprise for one honoree: Reina Campbell.
Campbell, mother of U.S. Air Force Captain Joshua Gunderson, was in attendance as a special guest in the Buccaneers “Salute to Service Suite.” While her son has served his country for more than a decade, she has faced a very different fight – first, being diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in 2006, and now once again battling the deadly disease, this time Stage IV breast cancer with metastases to her stomach.
