#WhereHeroesWork Wednesday: Ralph Metzler, Fort Myer Main Store Manager, Navy Spouse

Veterans and military spouse associates are terrific ambassadors for what the Exchange does and the heroes it serves. Roughly 45% of the U.S. workforce is made up of Veterans, military spouses or dependents.

During #WhereHeroesWork Wednesday, a series featuring Veterans and military spouses sharing their Exchange stories through a series of videos, the Exchange Post will communicate their tales of service, both to our Nation and to the Exchange.

This week’s entry features Ralph Metzler, Fort Myer main store manager and a Navy spouse. Metzler, who is also an Air Force son, talks about how a visit to his brother in Germany in 1997 led to a career at the Exchange, how the Exchange and the military are all family, and the often lifelong bonds that Exchange associates share.
