Hi Tim,

Yes you have to throw the ball up at least 16cm from your hand.

Here is the first part of the service rule.

2.06.01 Service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server's stationary free hand. 
2.06.02 The server shall then project the ball near vertically upwards, without imparting spin, so that it rises at least 16cm after leaving the palm of the free hand and then falls without touching anything before being struck.
