According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, besides being Memorial Day, today is also Missing Children's Day.
Most of us will never know the horror of dealing with a missing child. I'm sure not a day goes by that John and Reve Walsh wish that they didn't know that horror. Thank God they were able to use their pain to help thousands of others going through the same pain.
Here is where you can help. Check: http://www.fbi.gov/page2/may09/missingkids_052509.html. The site has photos of missing children, as well as links to help parents of missing children.
If you know of the whereabouts of any missing child, please contact your local police department and/or the FBI.

Reward Offered for Information on Burglary of FBI Vehicle
DISCLAIMER: The following post was cut-and-paste from the FBI's site and can be found at: http://memphis.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel09/me051509.htm. Anyone with any information on this is urged to contact the numbers at the end of the post.
"The FBI is offering a reward of $5,000.00 for information leading to the return of stolen property and the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the theft. In the early morning hours of Wednesday May 13, 2009, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employee's official vehicle was burglarized in a north Jackson subdivision. Two other vehicles in the same subdivision were burglarized at the same time. Among the items stolen were a Colt M-4 Semi-automatic tactical rifle (black with collapsible stock), a Remington 12-gauge law enforcement model pump shotgun (black with short barrel), and a blue ballistic vest with the letters "FBI" printed in yellow on the front and back of the vest. There is no information to suggest anyone plans to use the equipment to pose or impersonate an FBI agent; however, in an abundance of caution and with public safety in mind, it is necessary to inform the public about the theft.
"We understand the seriousness of those weapons in untrained hands," said Special Agent in Charge (SAC) My Harrison, of the FBI's Memphis Division. SAC Harrison adds "We have committed significant resources and have been working on this theft since it occurred. We are doing everything possible to identify those responsible and recover our property." All Special Agents of the FBI carry identification credentials bearing a photograph and signature of the employee, as well as a badge identifying themselves as an FBI agent.
Officers and detectives from the Jackson Police Department (JPD) and the Madison County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) have also been involved in this investigation. JPD Chief Rick Staples and Sheriff David Woolfork have committed significant resources to this matter.
Anyone with information about these thefts should immediately contact JPD and MCSO through Crime Stoppers, which offers an additional $1,000 for information leading to an arrest, at (731) 424-8477 or the FBI at (731) 668-9578 or (901) 747-4300.
For additional information contact Supervisory Senior Resident Agent A. Todd McCall in the Jackson FBI Office at (731) 668-9578."

Operation Cross Country
Chalk one up for the feds.
According to Neal Schiff of Inside the FBI, "The FBI and local and state police agencies around the country are working hard to crack down on child prostitution. Cross Country is what the operation is called." (http://www.fbi.gov/inside/inside.htm)
Rob King, an FBI Special Agent assigned to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Alexandria, Virginia, said that the Bureau has conducted three Operation Cross Countries since 2008.
The FBI, along with state and local police departments, has used Operation Cross Country to both help underage prostitutes escape prostitution and arrest the pimps responsible.
