Join us as former Sayreville resident and Lt. Col. Ed Marion reads passages from his book, The Fighting Eagles, which describes the story of 76 soldiers who patrolled the roads of Mosul, Iraq, during the 2007 Troop Surge. During their tour, they cleared 675 IEDs and fought their way through more than 200 ambushes. Ed will also discuss his own journey in becoming a platoon leader and his 20-year Army career. He uses proceeds from the book sales to assist veterans causes.
