Exchange to Display New Trailer Wrap, Highlighting Service to America’s Heroes, at 123rd Army-Navy Game

DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is letting Cadets and Midshipmen know that Team Exchange has their six with its latest patriotic trailer wrap, which will be on display at the 123rd Army-Navy Game on Dec. 10 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

With “Where Heroes Play, Where Heroes Shop” in large letters against a camouflage background, the trailer wrap reminds the military community that their Exchange benefit is here to serve them with tax-free shopping and military-exclusive pricing—whether they are serving today or served in the past.

The truck, based out of the Exchange’s Dan Daniel Distribution Center in Newport News, Virginia, delivers merchandise to Exchanges throughout the Department of Defense retailer’s Eastern Region, including Forts Bragg, Campbell, Benning and more.

It is an honor for the Exchange to serve Warfighters—past, present and future.”
