Live Update – Team Exchange Goes to the ‘Show Me’ State to Connect with Veterans
This week, the Exchange is in Kansas City, Missouri, for the 123rd VFW National Convention, spreading the word to Veterans about their lifelong, tax-free benefits.
Air Force SSgt. Zykia N. Graham, Military Personnel Office, NCO, and
Brian Schooley, Exchange Veteran and Military Service Organization Outreach Manager, assist a Veteran at the Exchange booth at the 123rd VFW National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri.
Since the Veterans online shopping benefit launched on Veterans Day 2017, hundreds of thousands of Veterans have used ShopMyExchange.com to place more than 1.4 million orders.
“The Veterans online shopping benefit has provided millions of dollars in savings for our Nation’s Veterans,” said Exchange Veteran and Military Service Organization Outreach Manager Maj. (Ret.) Brian Schooley. “This convention is an excellent opportunity to ensure all Veterans know their hard-earned exchange benefit goes with them through every stage of life.”
Team Exchange is also highlighting that all Veterans with service-connected disabilities now have in-store shopping privileges.
For Navy Veteran Bill Gale, in-store shopping privileges has been a meaningful opportunity to stay connected to the broader military community.
“To be able to go back onto an installation and utilize services such as the Exchange or the commissary is a benefit that I think is long overdue” said Gale, who served for nine years. “It’s a great addition for those of us who didn’t retire from the military.”
