\"\"DALLAS<\/strong> \u2013 In 1895, the War Department issued General Order 46 directing commanders to establish an exchange at every post. Since then, exchanges have faithfully served alongside military members wherever they are called to serve. Today, whether at Kuwait or Keesler, troops and their families know the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is there.<\/p>\n

On July 25, Exchanges all over the world and shopmyexchange.com will mark the exchange system\u2019s 122nd<\/sup> anniversary with in store and online exclusive savings including 50 percent off select women\u2019s apparel, up to $200 off select computers, 40 percent off select luggage, up to $175 off select Samsung washers and dryers and much more. Additionally, any food purchase at participating Exchange restaurants made with a MILITARY STAR card will be discounted 15 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say that this benefit has been around for 122 years is a testament to the loyalty of generations of military shoppers,\u201d said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange\u2019s senior enlisted advisor. \u201cJuly 25th<\/sup> is our annual opportunity to celebrate and thank them for their service and for making the Exchange their first choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
