“New Jersey veterans will now receive the credit they deserve for their valuable military training. By removing barriers to employment, we help veterans transition to civilian life and start to address critical shortages in the nursing field,” said Assemblywoman Michele Matsikoudis. “This signing means our nation’s heroes can more easily achieve rewarding careers as healthcare heroes. It is a win-win. I would like to thank the Governor for signing this common-sense measure into law, and recognize the work of the late Assemblyman Ron Dancer for his partnership on the bill while he was with us.”
“The New Jersey Veterans Network is grateful to our legislative leaders and the Governor for signing A2722/S3191 into law,” said Michael D. Boll, Director of New Jersey Veterans Network. “The enhanced licensure system will provide our nation’s heroes with the opportunity to utilize their world class medical training to continue to give back to their communities as nurses in the civilian workforce here at home.”

A true example of selfless service. When we held our Thanksgiving turkey dinner give away for veterans, we needed some more muscle. Although Marine veteran Sal Greenewas was not planning on staying long , but he did. Running around all over the place and helping out when things got tough.
He carried turkey meals out to veterans cars who were unable to, organized meals and doing a lot of the muscle work.
So my teammate Ben, Shadow and I stopped by William Paterson University to give this awesome young marine a certificate of appreciation from our New Jersey Veterans Network team! On behalf of Grunt Style Ben gave Sal some awesome gifts! We need more more people like Sal in this world and we wanted to make sure he felt appreciated!

We presented him with a NJVN Hero Award and a VFW Commendation signed by awesome NJ VFW commander Jay Boxwell! We also presented him with some sponsored gifts from Grunt STyle Foundation, a beautiful flag made by Ranger Alamanzars daughter, Val, and awesome subs from Taste of Italia EP!
We enjoyed hearing this American hero’s stories and were susprised to realize that we were all from the same Infantry Division! Since we were all part of the 3rd Infantry Division, Almanazar and I bonded quickly with our fellow Dog Faced soldier (thats what 3rd ID calls its soldiers) and really enjoyed out visit with him.
William Huhn and his generation inspired soldiers like us and it was truly an honor just getting to hear him speak. We look forward to more visits.

This year’s Touch a Truck did not disappoint anyone that entered the arena. There were so many displays available for the kids to enjoy and interact with and a number of added attractions to assure that any child attending had an exciting day ahead of them. Winds prevented the hot air balloon from being tethered, but kids had the opportunity to hop in a basket and activate the burner as they learned how heat makes the balloon rise. As always, the hay rides never stopped and filled to capacity each time it did its route – we could say the same about this year’s added attraction of a ride on the back of a deuce army transport truck! Food was plentiful, the music was good and the weather was more than comfortable throughout the day…
The New Jersey Veteran Network and The Rotary Club of Branchburg THANKS THANKS THANKS to Central Jersey Regional Airport and TriState Aviation and everyone that offered their equipment, vehicles, food, music, golf carts, ambulance (first aid service), the bus, the cooks, all the helpers setting up and breaking down tables and chairs and all the volunteers that monitored our displays and delivered food to be sure everyone was safe and having fun throughout the day – we could not have had the success this day delivered without everyone’s commitment to our fundraising dedicated to our veterans and active military.. Thank you for attending and we hope to see you again next year!
