For the ninth year running, Military AutoSource (MAS) and Ford are bringing back Operation Homeward Bound, the contest that helps put a trip home within reach.
Two service members will each receive a $2,500 Delta gift card, for a total of $5,000 in prizes. For two deserving winners, that could mean the chance to travel home for the moments that matter most.
What’s Waiting for You Back Home?
Tell us your story. In roughly 300 words, share the event, milestone, or moment that has you dreaming of home. Or nominate a fellow service member who deserves to win and tell us why.
No purchase is necessary to enter. Entries close Sunday, 25 October 2026, and can be submitted at militaryautosource.com/homewardbound.
Why We Do It
For more than 65 years, Military AutoSource has proudly served the U.S. Military community overseas. We understand that military service can mean missing important moments with family, friends and loved ones back home.
Operation Homeward Bound is one of the ways we give back, showing our appreciation for the dedication and sacrifices of those who serve.
The Heart Behind Homeward Bound
Traveling home from overseas can come at a significant cost, making it difficult to be there for the moments that matter most.
Through Operation Homeward Bound, we want to help two service members make the journey home for weddings, graduations, birthdays, farewells, or simply much-needed time with loved ones.
Spread the Word
Know someone who deserves a trip home? Help us spread the word about Operation Homeward Bound throughout the military community.
Download flyers and social graphics to share with fellow service members, friends and family. You can also nominate someone whose story deserves to be heard.
Help us spread the word so we can reach more service members and hear more stories from our military community overseas.
