Yokota Air Base– The Yokota Exchange is honoring all who serve and have served with free exclusive Vet for Life patches, part of the Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s monthlong Salute to Service.

Patches will be available at the Exchange, beginning at 1130 while supplies last, for active-duty service members, retirees and Veterans who have in-store shopping privileges.

“Once you’ve served, you are part of something bigger,” said Yokota Exchange General Manager Andrew Defelice. “The military community has a deep connection to the tradition of morale patches. This limited-edition Vet for Life patch unites all who wear or have worn our Nation’s uniform.”

The patch—created by an Army Veteran—features a white ribbon with the words “Vet for Life,” across a red, white and blue shield.

The giveaway is part of the Exchange’s Salute to Service, a monthlong recognition of all who serve and have served. The final giveaway—collectible penny POGs, a nod to the cardboard currency used in Southwest Asia—is Nov. 29.

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