[Profiler bio] Edward Irving was born on December 28th, 1939 in the state of Texas, before later moving to the Las Vegas area. After completing high school in 1959, he moved to Los Angeles, CA where he attended Los Angeles City College for the better part of two years. After his stint in college, Irving enlisted into the United States army in 1962, and served until 1965. After completing his training at Fort Ord, in Monterey Bay, California, he was deployed to South Korea. Through his time spent in the military, he was able to help break down many social and racial barriers, while forging life long relationships. Many of his closest friends would later go on to serve in the Vietnam War, as he would go on to start a family. While Irving would go on to begin a long career as a sales representative for Coca Cola, he would still stay in close communication with his former comrades to check on their status during the war. After retiring from Coca Cola, Irving has moved to Douglasville, GA where he still remains in close communication with his former comrades. He cites the lessons, relationships, and experiences from the army as invaluable as he continues to cherish them to this day. [Profile bio]
