Veterans Day, Exchange Heroes and More

This week in the Exchange Post, the Exchange celebrates those who have served with Veterans Day events worldwide—and associates sent us hundreds of photos for a Veterans Day Flickr album; Exchange leaders who are Veterans shared their stories in a HEROES lunch and learn; and today is the last day for the heroes logo design contest.

Also: A region food program specialist and 26-year military spouse tells her #WhereHeroesWork story; a Fort Belvoir warehouse worker tells her 35-year #FamilyServingFamily story; the AAFES Retired Exchange Association (AREA) tells you how you can contribute to the AREA Scholarship program; and #FlashbackFriday tells you what Apollo 12 and an Exchange grand opening had in common.

In case you missed it, here’s a look at this week’s coverage. Click on the photos for the stories.
