    DALLAS – For its enduring commitment to employing heroes, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service has been recognized as a Best for Vets: Employer for 2025 by Military Times, marking the 12th straight year the Department of War retailer has earned the accolade.

    “Veterans embody service, integrity and resilience—values that make the Exchange strong,” said Exchange Director/CEO Tom Shull, who served 12 years on active duty—including Command of C Company, 1/22 Infantry in the 4th ID—and seven additional years in the Army Reserve. “Having Veterans at the Exchange enhances mission readiness for Warfighters and allows the team to support their families. It’s an honor to be recognized once again as a Best for Vets: Employer.”

    At the Exchange, Veterans can:
    • Receive credit for military service toward their retirement benefits.
    • Continue serving by supporting active-duty service members, family members and Veterans.
