Guest: Master Sgt John Harper served twenty-one years in the United States Air Force and was honorably retired in 2006. His final assignment was at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware where he served with the Dental Evidence Response Team at the Dover Port Mortuary. He documented those final years of service in his new book titled, "Among The Dead; My Years in the Port Mortuary." This book details those years following 9/11 which involved forensics dental examinations on those killed in the Pentagon Disaster, and then the thousands of fallen heroes returning from the battlefields of Iraq. He provides an inside look at how exposure to human remains affected the team, and their personal battles with post-traumatic stress disorder. It is noteworthy that the teams' efforts were always directed by dignity, honor, and respect.

John holds state, national, and international credentials in addiction, and holds a Master's Degree from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. He is currently pursuing his Doctoral Degree at Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL. He lives with his wife just south of Orlando, FL.
