MISAWA AB – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is saluting Misawa’s youngest heroes with a monthlong celebration of free events, activities and prizes during Month of the Military Child.

For the sixth year, the Exchange will give away military “brat” patches starting April 1. Military children can visit the customer service area at the Misawa BX to receive a collectible patch while supplies last.

“The Exchange honors the important role that children of service members have in the Misawa community,” said Misawa BX General Manager Michickia Carter. “Military children face unique challenges every day, and the Exchange is excited to provide opportunities for America’s youngest heroes to take a break from their routines and enjoy fun activities at the Misawa BX.”

Events and offers include:

  • A sweepstakes giving away more than $9,000 in the hottest toys and Exchange gift cards to military kids. Authorized shoppers 18 and older can enter on their favorite military child’s behalf at ShopMyExchange.com/sweepstakes.
