Yokota Air Base – As part of Salute to Service month, the Yokota Exchange is handing out free Vet for Life decals to active-duty military, retirees and Veterans with in-store shopping privileges Nov. 15 as a thank you for their sacrifices.

This year marks the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s first Salute to Service month, paying tribute to our Nation’s heroes beyond Veterans Day. Vet for Life decals, perfect for displaying on vehicles, laptops, water bottles and more, will be available at 1130 while supplies last at the Yokota Exchange.

“The Exchange deeply appreciates all who serve and have served,” said Yokota Exchange General Manager Andrew Defelice. “One day isn’t enough to thank our heroes. During November, the Yokota Exchange team looks forward to honoring those who serve.”

Salute to Service in-store giveaways continue:

Nov. 22: Vet for Life patch honors military tradition and reinforces unity and morale. At the Exchange, all who served are Veterans for Life.

Nov. 29: POGs are back! Collectible penny POGs, with Service-specific artwork, were specially designed for Salute to Service month. POGs—cardboard currency—are a military tradition and now a collectors item. The original POGS go back nearly 25 years to support troops deployed to Southwest Asia in the early 2000s.

Giveaways are in-store only for active-duty service members, retirees and service-connected disabled Veterans with in-store shopping benefits. Quantities are limited. Shoppers can visit ShopMyExchange.com/SaluteToService for more information or visit the Yokota Exchange Facebook page.
