DALLAS As part of its annual “Still Serving” weekend, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service will salute former soldiers and airmen by offering unique specials and events at Exchanges worldwide Sept. 24 to 26, AAFES announced Thursday.

“Still Serving” sales and benefits information is arriving in the mailboxes of approximately 700,000 Army and Air Force retirees. The flyer offers exclusive savings on a wide variety of products, including 25% off men’s Adidas apparel, Nike caps and accessories, Hanes women's intimate apparel, Rosetti handbags and Rolfs belts, $50 off any in-stock Toshiba notebook and several food court meal deals.

“At approximately 2.3 million, retirees account for 26% of the Exchange’s 12.3 million authorized shoppers,” stated chief master Sgt. Jeffry Helm, AAFES’ senior enlisted adviser. “The specials offered in the flyer, combined with the host of ‘Still Serving’ events and festivities, should provide plenty of incentive for retirees to come and rediscover the value the Exchange offers.”
