Military Exchanges Online Shopping Privileges
To Be Open to Honorably Discharged U.S. Veterans
Beginning this Veteran’s Day, November 11, military exchange online shopping privileges will be extended to all honorably discharged veterans of the U.S. military. The Department of Defense announced this policy change as a way to recognize the contributions of service members who served in the military and to thank them for that service.
“We are proud to support this policy and extend the online shopping benefit to the nearly 15 million honorably discharged U.S. veterans. It is one small way to honor those who have served,” said Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi (Ret), Navy Exchange Service Command’s (NEXCOM) Chief Executive Officer. “This policy change is great for our veterans and is a win for our current customers. By having a larger customer base shopping our online store, we expect to be able to expand our merchandise assortment, and by purchasing more from our vendors, strengthen our value to our customers even more. We also expect to see an increase in contributions given to Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) for quality of life programs as well.”
Prior to November 11, honorably discharged veterans may go to myNavyExchange.com/veterans or the Navy Exchange Facebook page to check for information and announcements.
