Help Find Missing Children with this Forget-Me-Not Brand New Forever Stamp

These just came out today-totally new! Winner gets 10 Stamps

IF credits go over 25,000 I will add 5 more surprise/random Forever Stamps

Affirming its long-standing commitment to help find missing children, the U.S. Postal Service® issues this new stamp to make members of the public more aware of the ways they can assist—and to offer hope to the families of missing children as they continue their search.

This stamp features a photograph by Harald Biebel showing a small bunch of purple forget-me-nots on the left with a lone flower farther to the right, all of them against a white background. The forget-me-not is the symbol for International Missing Children’s Day, which occurs on the same day as National Missing Children’s Day, May 25. The features photos of missing children to millions of American homes. How brilliant to use this symbolic flower to find missing children.

More than 460,000 reports of missing children were made to law enforcement in the United States in 2014. Fortunately, loved ones have reason for hope: Increased public awareness, training, laws, and technology have led to more missing children coming home now than at any other point in history. For three decades, the U.S. Postal Service has also been honored to help with the search, cooperating with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and Valassis Communications, Inc., on a program that features photographs of missing children on advertising materials delivered to millions of American homes. To date, about 1,900 of the nearly 3,300 children featured on these mailings have been recovered, at least 157 as a direct result of this program. In addition, the U.S. Postal Service publishes photos and information about missing children in the Postal Bulletin, which adds some 700,000 employees to the search effort.

Please Note-last photo is a picture of the whole sheet but winner gets 10 stamps only!!!

jmo70 I think you are a very rude person. First of all if you researched this, as I did. Proceeds from these Collectable Stamps do go to this Organization. I myself collect Stamps and do know my facts. George Adams is very nice. Trustworthy and has a great heart.

Dearest Sis Zarifa,

Thanks for the amazing support and supportive comments.

I am pleased to inform you that JMO70 was long ago "joined" into my BLOCK PARTY LOL...

I like to keep my auctions spam free... ;)

Aww thank you my dear sister. That really upset me. I also blocked him or her.

I think it is a "him" but not so sure...You can't be too sure today if you know what I mean LOL...Anyway, good thing you blocked the spammer! Safety is above all! I also blocked him on FB. Some miserable people thrive on being disruptive and rude in other people's auctions not realizing how bitter and hostile they come across...Discourtesy is very ugly to me so when I see it I immediately eliminate it :) I hope he will eventually be banned from the site. It suits him well!

Might ask how you receiving credits on listia helps missing children? Because you bought the stamps?

May 22nd, 2015 at 11:10:51 PM PDT by

Hello there and welcome to my auction. The short answer to your question is that I strive to raise awareness to this noble cause by simply having an auction relating to the subject. Nothing grandiose but it's my own very little way of inviting people to think and care about their own communities. I hope this answers your question.
