Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week, the annual observance from October 23-31, is the oldest and largest drug abuse prevention campaign in the country. The Red Ribbon Campaign started after drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of illegal drugs. This year's Red Ribbon Week theme is "The Best Me Is Drug Free." The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a drug-free America. In order in maintain combat readiness, it is imperative that Department of Defense military personnel, civilians and their families remain drug free.
