The Army & Air Force Exchange Service wants to know the vivid details of the homecoming celebration with your servicemember honey.

"We are excited to hear and share stories of support and homecoming," said the Exchange's Chief of Staff Col. Tom Ockenfels in a news release. "We are grateful for military families' service and sacrifices. We've been with service members on the frontlines and with their families on the homefront. No one is happier than us to celebrate as loved ones are welcomed home."

Oh, wait. It's a contest. The Exchange is hosting a contest to find the best homecoming stories and photos. 

Authorized shoppers can share their special moments from Feb. 7 to 28 by submitting a story in 150 words or less for a chance to win one of two LenoxThomas Blackshear sculpted figurines valued at $195. The two collectibles, a female version called "Home at Last" and a male keepsake titled "Coming Home," are available in black or ivory.

Five winners of the Exchange's Thomas Blackshear figurine giveaway will be notified on or about March 14. No purchase is necessary and entrants must include their name, email and home address, name of the nearest Exchange, daytime phone number, rank or occupation of sponsor. There is a limit of one entry per family.

OK, that's more cool than creepy. For complete details visit www.shopmyexchange.com/patriotfamily.
