Finally, Major Ed is the Founder of Warrior Nation, a movement focused on the rights of liberty, freedom and patriotism with an autobiography entitled Warrior for Freedom: Challenge, Triumph and Change, the Major Ed Pulido Story.
My story begins on August 17th, 2004, when I was hit by an Improvised Explosive Devise (IED) or roadside bomb in Baquobah, Iraq that would change my life forever. As I laid on the 128-degree pavement, one thing was clear, as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States of America, we all understand that it is our patriotic duty to never leave a fallen comrade behind on the field of battle, so help us God. It was at that moment when flatlining on the field of battle, that I would remember what my father once told me. He told me that when you take the oath of office to defend the greatest nation in the world, it is about God, Country, Family, and all of those that serve in the Armed Forces of the United States America to protect you, the American people. It is in that spirit of challenge, triumph, and change, that I tell you my story of service, resiliency, courage, and sacrifice.

Finally, on a personal note, I had the opportunity to self-publish my book entitled Warrior for Freedom (WFF): Challenge, Triumph, and Change. Warrior for Freedom is based upon my true story and recounts a life-changing incident which occurred on August 17, 2004, after 20 years with the U.S. Army and U.S. Army Active Reserve. It was on that day, where I would be hit by an Improvised Explosive Devise (IED) or roadside bomb that would change my life forever.
After that day I was faced with multiple challenges, which, included 37 operations, unclear and miscommunication on my whereabouts, numerous hospitals stay, rehabilitative sessions, left leg amputation, a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury and finally, among the toughest battles of all – whether to stay in my beloved military or become a medically discharged veteran.
In conclusion, I want you to know that my final decision, to leave the military, was based in part on a compelling desire to reach out to other wounded veterans and their families who were seeking help for their injuries and post-war obstacles. But more importantly to start worthwhile foundations to empower and support our Veteran and first responder communities nationwide. And finally, to work with groups like First American Title to support the building blocks of success in the commercial real estate field so all people can improve their quality of life here in America.
Developing this book has been an opportunity for me to reflect on the extreme lows and highs of the past ten years and everything in-between. It is my utmost hope that my journey, chronicled within Warrior for Freedom (WFF), will help the American people understand the visible and not so visible costs of war. But more importantly, help the public and the corporate community understand how they can help our nations heroes and their families.
Warrior for Freedom is now available on Amazon and on my web site www.majoredempowertheveterans.org . Furthermore, a portion of the proceeds from each book sale will go to the veteran charities that I currently support and represent.
