WASHINGTON, D.C., July 01, 2011 – GEICO has launched HomeFrontSM, a new initiative to help deployed military service men and women overseas and around the U.S. stay connected with their family and friends back home. HomeFront is a dual Web and mobile app resource that allows its users to share videos and pictures. It is a social media site designed by GEICO for members of the military.
"GEICO is honored to show the military our continued gratitude and support, so it’s symbolic that we launch HomeFront on Independence Day," said Marie Motowylak, GEICO Internet Business Unit sales director. "The men and women who serve in our military, sacrifice so much to protect our freedom. HomeFront keeps them connected to loved ones while they are away."
