Aaron Jones, Sr. & His Army Vet Mother Encourage Blue Star Families
Jones and her son, Vikings running back Aaron Jones, Sr., spent time Tuesday afternoon with members of Blue Star Families, a military nonprofit founded in 2009 to strengthen and empower military and veteran families to thrive as they serve, at a "Fireside Chat" sponsored by Sleep Number.
Blue Star Families heavily aligns with the Jones' own nonprofit, the A&A All the Way Foundation, created by Aaron and his twin brother Alvin, Jr., to support military families and youth.
Aaron, who is the Vikings 2024 Salute to Service nominee, shared how involved his mom has been throughout his life. With the exception of deployments and a two-year period when she was stationed in South Carolina, Ms. Jones never missed a football game.
