Homeward Bound Campaign welcomes service members home Published Jan. 15, 2014 By Staff Sgt. Mark Matthews Army & Air Force Exchange Service Public Affairs DALLAS -- Service members and their families continually make sacrifices. Multiple deployments, long training exercises and constant states of readiness can add to the stress of not just being a service member, but a spouse or family member as well. In 2014, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is joining military communities around the world to celebrate the homecoming of America's brave warfighters by hosting a yearlong "Homeward Bound" campaign to honor those who serve. "We understand the hardships and sacrifices military families go through," said the Exchange's Chief of Staff Col. Thomas Ockenfels. "2014 will be a year to celebrate the return of so many. The 'Homeward Bound' campaign is our way of saying 'thank you' to service members, and their families, for everything they have done and continue to do." The "Homeward Bound" campaign will be a year of discounts, contests and great prizes. To kick off the year, shoppers can enter the Ashley Furniture giveaway from, Jan. 10 - Feb. 6. Three winners will receive a room of furniture valued at $1,500 each. To enter, shoppers can 'Like' the Exchange on Facebook and follow the contest rules.
