Subject: RE: Veterans Online Shopping Benefit
After
four years of coordination with the Departments of Defense, Army and
Air Force as well as several other federal agencies, the Exchange will
welcome home approximately 15 million veterans as we provide a lifetime
online exchange benefit for all who served honorably beginning this
Veterans Day.
Extending
online shopping privileges to all honorably discharged veterans will
directly improve family and support programs for Soldiers, Airmen and
their families. Consistent with each exchange’s dividend policy,
increased earnings as a result of this new benefit is expected 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 fitness centers, Air Force Outdoor Recreation, combat uniforms,
overseas school lunches and more.
From
technology upgrades to associate training to inventory planning, the
Exchange has been working on implementation of the Veterans Online
Shopping Benefit since it was first proposed in 2013. As a result, most
of the required business capabilities are already in place, and the
Exchange will be ready for a smooth rollout on Veterans Day.
