to generate tens of millions of dollars in increased annual dividends to Quality-of-Life programs for the military community including contingency operations, Army Child Development Centers, Youth Services and fi tness centers, Air Force Outdoor Recreation, combat uniforms, overseas school lunches and more. T e Veterans online shopping benefi t also strength- ens AAFES’ online business to better serve current shoppers. Conservative estimates predict that including hon- orably discharged Veterans will double the Exchanges’ online presence, improving the experience for all shoppers. From technology upgrades to associate training to inven-

As a result, most of the required business capabilities are already in place, and AAFES will be ready for a smooth rollout on Veterans Day. “AAFES, along with its sister exchanges, is ensuring
America’s Veterans are honored for their service and recog- nized as Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Sailors for life,” said Shull. “We look forward to welcoming our Veterans home this Veterans Day and every day thereafter.”
