Dear The National Center for Missing Adults :


I , Your Name , write to offer enthusiastic support for the HR 632, also know as Silver Alert and Kristen's Act Reauthorization. I support this legislation wholeheartedly and I believe it will help identify and return endangered missing adults. A National Missing Adults Center or NCMA would greatly aide in the effort to locate and recover missing adults. While much needed attention is given to incidents involving missing children, cases regarding missing adults are often neglected due to the lack of service in this area.

As parents/friend/law enforcement, I realize that specialized services to locate and recover missing adults are complicated to locate and offer guidance and various resource to families. While adults have the legal right to disappear without notifying friends and family, this does not lessen the frustration when families feel the unknown of whether a family member or friend is secure and safe.

Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future for any assistance you might need.

Sincerely,
(Your Signature)
