BACKGROUND: As a direct result of the leads generated by the "Have You Seen Me?" program,
149 children have been safely recovered and returned to their families. According to
NCMEC, photos are the number one tool in the search for missing children. By
featuring recent or age-progressed photos of missing children and their alleged
abductors, the program empowers the American public to help safely recover
missing children.

A self-supporting government enterprise, the U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that reaches every address in
the nation, 150 million residences, businesses and Post Office Boxes. The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for
operating expenses, and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations. With 36,000 retail
locations and the most frequently visited website in the federal government, www.usps.com, the Postal Service relies on
the sale of postage, products and services to pay for operating expenses. Named the Most Trusted Government Agency
five consecutive years and the third Most Trusted Business in the nation by the Ponemon Institute, the Postal Service has
annual revenue of more than $68 billion and delivers nearly half the world’s mail. If it were a private sector company, the
U.S. Postal Service would rank 28th in the 2009 Fortune 500.
