The Postal Service continues its tradition of drawing attention to important social causes by issuing the "AMBER Alert" stamp in Washington, DC, to honor a program dedicated to the rapid recovery of abducted children. Named after nine-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was tragically kidnapped and murdered in 1996, AMBER is an acronym for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response. When law enforcement officials have sufficient information about the circumstances of abduction, and believe the child is in imminent danger, they partner with media and state transportation officials to broadcast an alert. The chalk pastel illustration shows a reunited mother and child entwined in each other's arms.
