CINCINNATI - February 18th 2008 - In an effort to support active duty military personnel, The Thank You Foundation and PALO, a Pittsburgh-based cyber charter school, has joined forces to produce and distribute "Tribute To Our Troops," a unique, multi-media presentation.

Filled with heartfelt notes, poems and prayers, "Tribute To Our Troops" began as a class project combining the talents of 25 teachers and students from across Pennsylvania. As the assignment came to an end, PALO's social studies teacher Victoria Burke realized that the students had a message that would inspire any soldier: we love you, we miss you, thank you for everything.

With the help of John Guinn, president of The Thank You Foundation, and other military support groups, copies of the tribute have reached over 1,000 soldiers in all branches of the military. The Thank You Foundation distributed "Tribute To Our Troops" in its Valentine's Day care packages, and will continue to distribute the DVD throughout the remainder of February and March.

PALO, an acronym for PA Learners Online, is a cyber charter school for students in Pennsylvania who are between the ages of 5 and 21.

Guinn said "This has been a very exciting project for us. As with our Thank You Card program in schools across the country, it is wonderful to see our young people get involved to show support for the troops. The presentation they have put together is very well done and a fitting tribute to our nation's heroes.
