In this episode of Grit Won't Quit, Tom sits down with Ed Thomas, President of the Monmouth Chapter of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA). Ed leads an all-volunteer team of 1,200 members and 50 community partners dedicated to supporting soldiers, veterans, and their families right here in Monmouth County.
They discuss how AUSA makes a local impact through initiatives like their service dog program, connecting military families with trained companions, and how the revitalization of Fort Monmouth will open up even more opportunities for outreach. From community connections to national support, Ed shares what it takes to serve those who've served.
