ICYMI: The Week That Was in the Exchange Post

This week in the Exchange Post, the Laughlin AFB Exchange celebrates a big grand reopening; the Exchange’s dedication to advancing military-connected careers earns an honor for the fifth straight year; and the Fort Knox PX and Kunsan Air Base BX unveil new services.
Also, the Eastern Region Services Program Specialist tells her 17-year Where Heroes Work story; a Fort Johnson Express manager recalls growing up in a military family in her Family Serving Family story; and #FlashbackFriday flashes back to 2003 for a tale of Exchange support in Iraq.
In case you missed it, here’s a look at this week’s coverage. Click on the photos for the stories.
