Today we celebrate Major Ed's "Alive Day" of August 17th. On that date in 2004, Major Ed's Humvee was struck by a roadside bomb in the Iraq desert, leaving him seriously injured. He endured 17 operations, numerous hospital stays, amputation of his left leg, rehabilitative sessions and a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury with post-traumatic stress. Major Ed has since used his experience and faith to positively impact the world through motivational speaking, philanthropy and fundraising. Today you get the opportunity to hear Major Ed's story and how he's working to make the world a better place for our veterans, first responders, senior citizens and anyone in need through the work of his foundation.

Major Ed Pulido, U.S. Army (Ret.) is the founder of the John-Daly - Major Ed Heart of a Lion Foundation, co-founder of Warriors for Freedom Foundation, co-founder and former Sr. VP of the Folds of Honor Foundation, author of Warrior For Freedom, Challenge, Triumph, & Change. Major Ed has been awarded the Bronze Star with Valor, Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal and Joint Service Commendation and Achievement Metals during his 19-year Army career before medically retiring in 2005.
