(NAPSI)-As American service men and women continue their mission in Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations around the world, support for our troops is ever so important. Today, some 2.6 million active duty service members are on duty in 146 countries, ensuring our freedom and the freedom of others.

In a salute to our troops, Swarovski, the world's leading manufacturer of cut crystal, has partnered with the United Service Organizations (USO) and designed a three-pin Tribute to the Troops Collection. The USO will receive 10 percent from the sales to support programs that benefit the troops and their families.

For the last 64 years, the USO (www.uso.org) has served as a bridge between the U.S. military and the American people to boost the morale and improve the lives of military personnel serving far from home.

"We are proud to partner with Swarovski to raise awareness and support for our men and women in uniform," said USO President Edward A. Powell. "We look forward to working with a company that is known for quality around the world."

The Tribute to the Troops Collection is available at Swarovski retailers or online at www.swarovski.com. For more information, call 1-800-426-3088.
