Silver Alert Gaining Speed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBdV09KEMHI&feature=player_embedded

I remember a time when my father in law went for a walk and we could not find him. It was such a scary feeling mixed with hopelessness. What if dad doesn't remember where he lives.  A nice man found dad who had fallen on the ground in a ditch. Somehow by talking to my father in law he figured out where dad lived and brought him home. How much easier it would have been if he had a bracelet on. I hope this article helps.
