       Feulner spoke frequently both in the United States and abroad,   
       and was awarded honorary degrees from 10 colleges and universities.   
       He was declared a Benefactor of the University of Edinburgh,   
       and has received honors from the governments of Taiwan, South   
       Korea, and the Czech Republic.   
      
       But his heart belonged to Heritage--and to the thousands of   
       colleagues and supporters he worked with over the decades. "I   
       can't stress it enough," Feulner said in 2002 on his 25th   
       anniversary as president. "If you don't have the right people,   
       you won't have the success Heritage has had over the years."   
      
       After serving as president from 1977 to 2013, Feulner served   
       as president again on an interim during 2017. Heritage's   
       influence grew immensely that year. After President Donald J.   
       Trump's inauguration there were a number of conservative policy   
       victories, and The Heritage Foundation played a role in all of   
       them.   
      
       Edwin John Feulner Jr. was born Aug. 12, 1941, in Chicago to   
       Helen Joan Feulner and Edwin J. Feulner Sr., who owned a real   
       estate firm. After growing up in suburban Chicago, Feulner   
       attended Regis University in Denver. There he read Arizona Sen.   
       Barry Goldwater's best-selling manifesto, The Conscience of a   
       Conservative and Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind, which   
       influenced his thinking and the direction of his life.   
      
       He graduated from Regis University with double majors in English   
       and business, and received an MBA from the University of   
       Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business in 1964. He later   
       attended Georgetown University and the London School of Economics,   
       and then earned a doctorate degree at the University of Edinburgh   
       in 1981.   
      
       Feulner began his Washington career as Public Affairs Fellow   
       for the Center for Strategic Studies (now the Center for   
       Strategic and International Studies) and at the Hoover Institution   
       at Stanford University, where he wrote on subjects such as   
       economic trade embargoes with the Soviet Union. He later became   
       a confidential assistant to Rep. and later Defense Secretary   
       Melvin R. Laird (R-WI). Afterward, Feulner became Chief of   
       Staff to Rep. Philip M. Crane (R-IL). Before joining Heritage   
       as its President, Feulner was Executive Director of the Republican   
       Study Committee.   
      
       Feulner was the author of nine books: The American Spirit   
       (2012), Getting America Right (2006), Leadership for America   
       (2000), Intellectual Pilgrims (1999), The March of Freedom   
       (1998), Conservatives Stalk the House (1983), Looking Back   
       (1981), Congress and the New International Economic Order   
       (1976), and Trading with the Communists (1968).   
      
       He was the editor of U.S--Japan Mutual Security: The Next Twenty   
       Years, China--The Turning Point, and a contributor to 10 other   
       books and numerous journals, reviews and magazines. Feulner   
       also was publisher of Heritage's Policy Review magazine from   
       1977 until 2001, when Heritage transferred the publication to   
       the Hoover Institution. He was the co-founder and Chairman of   
       the website Townhall.com, which was established to coordinate   
       online activities of dozens of conservative organizations and   
       columnists.   
      
       Feulner also penned a weekly column that appeared regularly in   
       dozens of newspapers and websites across the country.   
      
       He passed away on July 18, 2025, surrounded by his loving   
       family.
