Month of the Military Child (Army & Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs)

MISAWA AB – Throughout April, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is saluting America’s youngest heroes at Misawa with free events, activities and an exclusive sweepstakes during the Month of the Military Child.

Starting April 1, the Misawa Exchange will give away military “brat patches.” Military children can pick up the collectible patch, an exclusive accessory designed by the Exchange for military children since 2017, at checkout while supplies last.

“Military children serve an important role, and the Exchange is honored to celebrate their service and sacrifice,” said Misawa Exchange General Manager Michickia Carter. “America’s youngest heroes at Misawa can join in the fun at the BX with free activities, events and a chance to win cool prizes all month long.”

Events and offers include:

• An exclusive sweepstakes giving away more than $23,000 in top trending 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 through May 2.

• Six in-store events for military kids to gather with friends and try out the latest games and toys at select stores: Play-Doh on March 30; Furby Furblets Event on April 6; Hasbro Gaming Games Event on April 13; Disney Princess Event on April 20; Marvel Event on April 27; and Star Wars Event on May 4. Check the Exchange’s community Hub, https://aafes.media/MoMC24 for more details.

• An exclusive coupon for military children 18 and younger to receive a free treat at participating Exchange restaurants beginning April 1. Coupon is valid for a free side item, fountain drink or dessert. Shoppers can visit the Exchange food court to pick up the coupon while supplies last.
