A Hero Becomes a Veteran

On this Saturday, July 28, an Army Hero is being medically retired, and officially becoming an Army Veteran.

Sgt. Eric Edmundson, a soldier of the 4/14th Cavalry out of Ft. Wainwright, Alaska, was seriously injured on Oct. 2,2005 when the vehicle he was driving in Iraq hit an IED (improvised explosive device.)

Eric’s journey since that day, and his courageous fight to overcome his injuries,with the help and support of his family, has been documented on his CaringBridge website  HERE

 And many of you may have seen Eric and his father, Ed, featured as ABC’s Persons of the Week on June 29.

The story of Eric and his family has been an inspiration to many. I really can find no words, to express how much I admire the courage,strength, faith, and determination of Eric and his family.

As Sgt. Eric Edmundson medically retires and becomes a Veteran, I wish to send all my best wishes for the future to he and his family.
