Veterans Day Coin (Army & Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs)

Yokota Air Base – In honor of Veterans Day, the Yokota Exchange will distribute free challenge coins to those who have served our Nation.

Exchanges worldwide will hand out the limited-edition coins to Veterans on Monday, Nov. 11, marking the fifth year of the Exchange’s coining celebration. Yokota Exchange will participate on November 7th at 1130.

“The Yokota Exchange is honored to show its gratitude to those who have selflessly served their country,” said Yokota Exchange General Manager Vincent Lesesne. “Offering these small tokens of appreciation for the service and sacrifice of our Nation’s heroes is an honor.”

The coins—featuring an eagle on one side and the six United States Armed Forces emblems on the other—are available while supplies last on Nov. 7th. Veterans are encouraged to contact the Exchange or visit the Yokota Exchange Facebook page for more information.

The Exchange, along with the Navy Exchange Service Command, Marine Corps Exchange and Coast Guard Exchange, have teamed up to distribute the special Veterans Day coins since 2020.

All honorably discharged Veterans can shop tax-free for life at ShopMyExchange.com while disabled Veterans can use their hard-earned Exchange benefit in person at Exchanges. Veterans can visit aafes.media/paveterans for more information on their earned lifelong Exchange benefits.
