The Postal Service issued a stamp May 18 to raise awareness of the nationâs missing children.
âWe are deeply committed to this noble and urgent cause,â said PMG Megan Brennan, who dedicated the stamp at the National Postal Forum in Anaheim, CA.
Almost half a million children were reported missing last year.
The stamp is the latest example of the Postal Serviceâs âlongstanding commitmentâ to the cause, the PMG said. Since 1985, at least 158 missing children have been recovered through a program that puts their photographs on âHave You Seen Me?â mailings.
Representatives from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and Valassis Communications Inc., the Postal Serviceâs partners in the mailings, participated in the stamp dedication.
The ceremony also featured a video message from longtime victimsâ rights advocate John Walsh, who praised the stamp as âanother example of how the United States Postal Service and Valassis bring hope to families that their children will return home.â
The stamp is available online and at Post Offices nationwide.
