DALLAS<\/strong> \u2014 This Independence Day, all Americans can show appreciation for service members<\/a> by sending an Army & Air Force Exchange Service gift card to those who serve.<\/p>\n

Shoppers, including civilians, can purchase and send an Exchange gift card from $10 to $500 by visiting ShopMyExchange.com\/scs<\/a>. Shoppers can choose either a physical card or e-gift card, making it easy to support service members across the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many Americans gather with friends and family to celebrate our Nation\u2019s independence, thousands of service members remain far away from home,\u201d said Chief Master Sgt. Rich Martinez, the Exchange\u2019s senior enlisted advisor. \u201cSending an Exchange gift is a simple and meaningful way to remind them they are appreciated this Fourth of July.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exchange gift cards and e-gift cards never expire and can be used at any PX, BX, Navy Exchange or Marine Corps Exchange worldwide. Only physical gift cards may be used at Coast Guard Exchanges.<\/p>\n
