Do you realize how many people are considered "missing"?
Sep 5, 2006
Dear friends,

Do you look at the "flyers" that come in the mail with pictures of missing people? I have to admit that I don't.

It is shocking how many people are actually considered "missing" from their families.

Have you ever even heard of The National Center for  Missing Adults?

http://www.theyaremissed.org/ncma/

Have you heard of The Doe Network?

The Doe Network describes their mission as follows:

It is our mission to give the nameless back their names and return the missing to their families. We hope to accomplish this mission in three ways; by giving the cases exposure on our website, by having our volunteers search for clues on these cases as well as making possible matches between missing and unidentified persons and lastly through attempting to get media exposure for these cases that need and deserve it.

Then, the most heart-breaking might be children. Please make sure that you know about this website:

Child Seek Network

Also, America's Most Wanted also assists with missing people. Check out their website when you have a chance.

There are still some Katrina victims who are missing. AMW has a section for them.

I just wanted to take a moment to bring this to everyone's attention because tomorrow it could be someone is your family who goes "missing". The longer someone is "missing" the chances of finding them "alive" decreases drastically after even a couple of years.
