ThanksUSA Treasure Hunt 2008

Welcome to ThanksUSA's third American history treasure hunt (TH3) designed to celebrate America's values and to promote scholarships for the kids and spouses of the military.

For newcomers to our effort, ThanksUSA stands for Treasure Hunt Aiding Needs of Kids and Spouses of those serving the United States of America. ThanksUSA began as the "brainblast" of two Virginia schoolgirls in 2005 as a non-partisan, charitable effort to mobilize Americans of all ages to "thank" our active-duty troops by providing need-based college, technical, and vocational school scholarships to their spouses and dependents.

Treasure Hunt Three is Free ... although we hope you will make a donation to the scholarship fund for the families of our brave men and women in uniform who protect our freedoms each and every day. Every contribution counts.

This year's treasure hunt focuses on the fascinating histories of Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin and Wyoming, along with the histories of the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy and home ownership in America. We will be there to goad, provoke and clue you through crosswords, sudokus, word searches, kakuros, anagrams and more as you seek to find the key at the end of each chapter to unlock that chapter's treasure chest. We encourage students, families and individuals to jump into the chapters and learn important historical facts and concepts in a fun but challenging way in hopes of winning this year's fabulous educational and technological prizes. The clues and puzzles were generated by several teachers and supporters of ThanksUSA, including three of our past treasure hunt winners!

Instructors, parents and students can be assured that this is a reliable supplement for learning American history and social studies while also helping families of the troops achieve their educational goals.
