A local television station is anxious to tell the stories of Keesler families who are separated by deployment.

Project Homefront is a special feature of WLOX-TV, south Mississippi's ABC affiliate. News anchor Jeff Lawson interviews military families in the station's viewing area as a public service to raise awareness of the needs and challenges faced left behind when their loved one deploys.

Every month, a family is selected to receive a prize package that includes dinner for four and a spa day and makeover.

To tell their story, Keesler families should go to the Project Homefront page on www.wlox.com.
