Fallout Re: Vietnam 10 part series on PBS.

I received feedback last night from a retired military couple who I told about the following. They wanted to thank me for the information you're about to receive below, as they passed it on to their son and daughter who are both military veterans. The son in particular was very grateful for the information as he was wondering how was going to afford Christmas for his three children. Now he'll be able to do it. It made my night.

So I hope this doesn't cause me too much grief, but when I'm in the "gate keeper" mode I'm finding out that after 11 months, not many of you honorably discharged (Non-Retiree.) veterans are aware that your honorable service is finally being recognized in a tangible way that you deserve and will hopefully save you money (Duty Free.) by shopping at the online Navy Exchange and AAFFES websites ONLY.

You can register on either site, I recommend scanning your DD-214 to my pictures, as you will be required to upload that document as part of the registration process.

Again Military Retirees need not apply. You should already know you have the option to use the on base or websites already. I wouldn't have posted the last if I hadn't already been asked about it.

Thank you all for your service and sacrifices (This includes the rest of you from the many countries represented as members as well.) in serving. We are now the "less then 1%'s" in this country. Hope this helps you out here and your friends as well. Below is the official DOD Press Release.

To my Marine friend-get shopping!!

The programs starts this Veterans Day on a permanent basis.

Thank You and good night!!

I don't want your thanks, I just want to use what you've earned and pass it along.

Regards,
Pat Conklin USN/SS Ret.


Probably should've put this in my other thread or started a new one-SORRY!
