This year, Misawa received almost $1.5 million, an increase of four percent from last year. Roughly two-thirds of the Army and Air Force Exchange Services earnings are paid to MWR programs. In the past 10 years, $2.4 billion has been contributed by AAFES to military MWR programs to spend on quality of life improvements.(U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Laura R. McFarlane)
