"A Tribute to the Brave"

Roberts Publishing Releases Book for U.S. Troops From Loved Ones

San Marcos, CA - March 3rd, 2003 - In the wake of dozens of deployments across the country, Roberts Publishing wanted to give something back to the troops who are being asked to leave home and serve abroad. The company asked for writing submissions from military wives and familes for a tribute book designed specifcially for troops seperated from their loved ones. The submissions poured in from various wives, girlfriends, mothers and fiances from all over the United States.

The book "A Tribute to The Brave," is now available at www.angelfire.com/biz2/robertspublishing/BooksJM.html. At over 100 pages, it is filled with poems, personal messages, stories, letters and notes to servicemen and women from their loved ones at home. In addition to the personal submissions, Roberts Publishing included calendars, word search puzzles, contact information pages for people they wish to stay in contact with and pages left blank for family members to affix personal photos before sending the books to their soldier.

"A Tribute to the Brave," received a huge response not only from family members with submissions, but also in pre-sales. Most buyers purchased more than one for each of the troops they knew.

Roberts Publishing is currently accepting submissions for the sequel to this book "United We Stand." The sequel will include submissions that were not able to fit into the first book and new submissions from others who wish to contribute. The publishing date is set for June 2003 so that troops may receive it in time for the Fourth of July holiday.
