National Missing Persons Day 2025

I know of missing persons in my area; although I do not know them personally.

However, they impacted me as the result of those with whom I have interacted nonetheless.

Today is National Missing Persons Day. It happens each February 3 annually.

The day seeks to draw attention to those thousands of missing persons across the country and to bring awareness to the general public regarding them in the hopes of increasing the chances of them being found.

National Missing Persons Day was established May 25, 1983

Adults and children both may become missing during their activities of daily living.

Many are never seen or heard from again.

I chalk it up mostly to poor decisions made by those individuals leading up to their disappearance.

While I wish them well it's all too often we read of other tragedies at the hands of criminal elements which come to the fore.

I do not personally feel that I have ever been in danger of becoming captured and going missing.

I feel it's because of my personal attraction to pugilism, weapon techniques and firearms, as well as the acts associated with hand to hand combat which makes me a formidable adversary upon which someone might attempt to prey.

No, I don't believe I will ever go missing but that doesn't mean you won't.

Be careful out there.

Don't bring a stick to a gun fight.
