Happy Veterans Day - new benefit starts today

[Mike and Carol]

Happy Veterans Day to all the vets out there. If you are an honorably discharched veteran, starting today you can shop at AAFES (PX/BX/Exchange) online.  Just go to vetverify.org for information. The background story is at:

We do most of our online shopping at Amazon, but do some shopping at AAFES Online.  More than half the profits from PX sales go back into programs for soldiers and airmen.

Thanks Mike,

 

I was surprised when I was contacted about this new benefit. They opened the online exchange stores to some of us a couple months ago so we have been checking out pricing, etc. Its nice to have more buying options......Clair

Let me get this straight... I spent 4 years in the USAF and I may shop with AAFES and at the BX? Are you doing mail-order or going on base? I haven't been on base since 9-11. Will they lit a civilian on base to shop these days?

 

Thanks,

Peter, it is AAFES on line, not on base or on post at the physical BX or PX. The link above has all the info. Mike
