OPERATION SAFETY 91's Co-Founder, Edward Ganster, passed to the next life on July 3, 2014. God touched the lives of literally countless men and women Responders across America and beyond through the life and efforts of this one man. Ed co-founded OPERATION SAFETY 91 in 2009 and planned and hosted six outstanding Annual Tribute Events in Orlando to honor Central Florida Responders: Firefighters, EMS, Law Enforcement, Corrections, and Military. Under his leadership and thanks to the generosity of the friends of OS91, to date over 2,250,000 Psalm 91 Cards have been made and shipped to Responders in 44 States and 11 foreign countries free of charge.
Partnering with businesses, organizations, churches, schools, ministries, and individuals, Ed spread the OS91 message everywhere he went. Ed was a visionary, untiring in his efforts, and he believed that with God nothing is impossible!
OS91's mission of Honoring and Protecting America's Protectors continues "Moving Forward"! Ed's vision is carried on by his marriage and ministry partner, co-founder Mary Ganster, together with OS91 National Spokesperson COL Danny McKnight, U.S. Army (Ret.), Ranger Ground Command of the Battle of Mogadishu of "Black Hawk Down" renown. In addition to being National Spokesperson, Col. McKnight also serves as Vice President of Operation Safety 91.
Edward Ganster's Legacy, OPERATION SAFETY 91, lives on!
