Travis AFB Exchange offers free exclusive military brat patch on April 7 Published April 3, 2018 By Jessica Jones Army and Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Military brats are serving, too and now they can put their fearless spirit on full display with a free patch from Vanguard and the Travis Air Force Base Exchange. The first ever military brat patch is part of the Army and Air Force Exchange Service’s celebration of Month of the Military Child. Patches will be handed out to military children while supplies last from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 7 at the Travis AFB Exchange. Kids will also receive a coupon for $5 in stripes alterations, allowing them to have the patch sewn on a personal item. “Military brats put down roots almost anywhere,” said Flor Payton, Travis AFB Exchange general manager. “These children are our nation’s youngest heroes and these special patches symbolize their strength and resolve.” “Military brat” is used in the military as a term of endearment and respect, and refers to the children of those serving in the U.S. armed forces who move often as their parent’s duty assignments change. Airmen and military families can contact the Travis AFB Exchange at 707-437-4633 for more details.
