As a way to say thank you to service members for serving their country, the Navy Exchange Service Command has made “Gifts From the Homefront” gift certificates available for purchase. Purchasers can send them (1) directly to the home of an active-duty military member or the family; (2) to the Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society, which can identify individuals or families with the greatest need for these gift certificates; or (3) to The Fisher House Foundation, Inc., for distribution to military members wounded in action and those who are seriously ill being treated in a military hospital. Recipients can redeem the certificates at any military exchange. Certificates come in $5, $10, $25, $50, $100 and $250 denominations.
