He played football, basketball and track in high school and enlisted in the National Guard in December 2003.
"Harrison was a dedicated soldier as well as a loving husband, stepfather, son, brother, and friend, whose memory lives in the hearts of his family and fellow soldiers," said Gov. Jon S. Corzine.
After high school, he worked for several years at an Exxon gas station and also for an exterminator, his parents said.
