In-store events during the week vary by location and may include refreshments, product samples, health clinics, cooking demonstrations and more.

"Retirees are an essential part of the total team. When retirees support the Exchange, they are a key enabler to the sustainment of quality-of-life programs for our installations and air bases. We honor their continual commitment, strength, sacrifice and service to our nation," said Exchange Command Engineer Col. Fabian Mendoza. "‘Still Serving’ is our annual effort to thank veterans for all they do on behalf of our military communities."
