Exchange Patriot Pet Contest Goes to the Dogs…and Cats…and Birds…
DALLAS – Military shoppers who think they have a top dog…or cat…or bird …or reptile …can try to fetch their share of $3,000 in prizes during the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s Patriot Pet Just Say Treat online photo contest.
From May 6 through June 2, authorized shoppers can upload a photo of their prized pet at www.shopmyexchange.com/sweepstakes. One grand-prize winner in the worldwide contest will take home a $1,000 Exchange gift card, while two first-place winners will each receive $500 gift cards. Four third-place winners will nab $250 gift cards each.
“For many Soldiers and Airmen, pets are very much an important part of their family, providing love and companionship and easing stress of daily duties,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Sean Applegate, Exchange senior enlisted advisor. “With the Patriot Pet contest, the Exchange salutes these furry, fuzzy, feathered—and sometimes even scaly—members of the military family.”
Rules and more information for the contest can be found at www.shopmyexchange.com/sweepstakes once the contest launches. Just Say Treat winners will be notified toward the end of June.
