Starting a New Personal Project

I am starting a new personal project. In fact it is one I have been thinking about for a long time, but never took any steps forward. Given my recent schedule that should be of no surprise
I am starting today, and I need your help!
The concept:
Produce a short series of portraits featuring the families of active-duty military members. The portrait series is intended to focus on the family, not solely the member of the military. Many photographers have produced various series on soldiers and sailors. This project is about the family.
How you can help:
Are you, or do you know any nice family in the Cleveland or Northeast Ohio area with a family member on active duty? Would they be willing to spend a morning or afternoon with a photographer in exchange for printed family portraits? If so, please get in touch with me.
What you get in return:
First, a large (16×20″) mounted print of your choice. Also, a few 5×7″ prints of your choice. The large print is for you. The small prints are for your son, daughter, husband or wife serving overseas. All I ask for in return is for your time and allowing me to use the images in my portfolio. That’s it.
Since the holidays are essentially here, I thought now would be a great time to launch this project. After all, who wouldn’t want a good portrait of their family at the holidays. Plus, winters are a slower time for wedding photographers 
Again, if you would like to participate or know anyone who would, please get in touch using the contact form.
See y'all soon,
Hunter
Good morning,
I am a photojournalist with the Army and I just happened to stumble upon your site. You have some great photography here. I was wondering where you are at with your project? Unfortunately I am not in your area, but this project you started in 2009 interests me. The Army is starting to focus on, not only the Soldiers, but also the Soldier’s family members and this project might be a good story, if you were able to succeed in getting anyone interested. So please email me back and let me know. Thank you.
I have not made much progress with it. I have not been contacted by anyone, but I am certainly still interested. At the moment, I have hit my busy season with wedding photography, so I have not had the chance to reach out to the community. When things slow down in the fall and winter, I will certain put some more effort into this project.
