Fairchild Exchange 'Pumps Up' savings to celebrate 116 years

FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE --  In 1895, the War Department issued General Order 46 directing commanders to establish an Exchange at every post. Since then, Exchange associates have faithfully served alongside the servicemembers of the United States during peace and times of war. Whether at Fairchild Air Force Base or Bagram Air Base, they live the Exchange's motto "We Go Where You Go."
Exactly 116 years later, the Fairchild Exchange is marking the occasion offering 16-cents off per gallon of gas July 25-27 when patrons use their Military Star® Card or Military Star® Rewards Card.

The 16-cent a gallon discount is above and beyond the everyday five-cent a gallon savings Military Star® cardholders enjoy when filling up at the Fairchild Express. The July 25-27 promotion is just the latest example of how the Exchange "pumps up" the discount even more during holidays and other special occasions.

"It is our way of saying thanks," said Mark Boyer, the Exchange's general manager. "If it were not for the warfighters of the United States military, the Exchange would not be where it is today."

To apply for the Military Star® Card and Military Star® Rewards Card, log onto www.shopmyexchange.com click the link to Exchange Credit Program or visit the customer service department at the Fairchild Exchange.

The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is a joint command and is directed by a Board of Directors which is responsible to the Secretaries of the Army and the Air Force through the Service Chiefs of Staff. The Exchange has the dual mission of providing authorized patrons with articles of merchandise and services and generating non-appropriated fund earnings as a supplemental source of funding for military Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) programs.
