Ed and his wife Barbara Harris are currently vacationing in New York City and will soon return to their home near Dayton, Ohio, where Ed previously had been hospital emergency room director at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
They recently returned from San Antonio, where Ed gave the opening presentation, concerning Afghan combat medical support, to top-ranking Air Force medical personnel at Lackland AFB.
He recently completed a year's tour in Afghanistan, having served for six months in Iraq last year. He is approaching his 25th anniversary in the armed forces, having initially enlisted in the Army. He formerly served two tours in South Korea with the Air Force.
