DALLAS \u2013 <\/strong>Anyone can send a little holiday cheer to Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Marines or Veterans this year by purchasing them an Exchange gift card. The gift cards can be redeemed at Exchanges in all 50 states and more than 30 countries, including contingency locations in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Service members can use Exchange gift cards to purchase snacks, electronics, books, clothing, jewelry and more at any Army, Air Force, Navy or Marine Corps exchange. And now, with the launch of the Veterans online shopping benefit in November, honorably discharged Veterans can redeem gift cards online.<\/p>\n

\u201cPurchasing an Army & Air Force Exchange Service gift card for service members and Veterans is a great way to remind them that they are valued by those they serve, and served, to protect,\u201d said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange\u2019s senior enlisted advisor. \u201cIt only takes a minute and allows them to get exactly what they need to make the holidays brighter.\u201d<\/p>\n

While only authorized military shoppers can redeem Exchange gift cards, anyone\u00a0can send one by calling 800-527-2345 or visiting ShopMyExchange.com<\/a> and clicking \u201cPurchase Gift and Phone Cards\u201d at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n

From there, Exchange gift cards, ranging in values from $10 to $500, can be addressed to a specific Soldier, Airman, Sailor, Marine or Veteran.<\/p>\n

— 30 —<\/p>\n

Since 1895, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) has gone where Soldiers, Airmen and their families go to improve the quality of their lives by providing valued goods and services at exclusive military pricing. The Exchange is the 56th-largest retailer in the United States. Its earnings provided $2.4 billion in dividends to support military morale, welfare and recreation programs over the last 10 years. The Exchange is a non-appropriated fund entity of the Department of Defense and is directed by a Board of Directors.
