Red Ribbon Week
"Leave Footprints Worth Following"
Remembering Kiki Camarena.....

   Enrique "Kiki" Camarena joined the Drug Enforcement
Administration in 1974.  Kiki confiscated hundreds of thousands
of pounds of marijuana and cocaine while
investigating a drug scam in Mexico.  
Unfortunately, Kiki lost his life in 1985,
when drug traffickers kidnapped, tortured
and killed him.  
   Kiki was a believer that one person
could make a difference, and soon after his
death friends and family turned tragedy into hope by
pledging to lead drug free lives in his honor.  Soon after, a
National Campaign, Red Ribbon Week was established.  Now
every year millions of Americans celebrate Red Ribbon Week
to remember KiKi and to take a stand, just as he did, against
drugs.

Wear your Red Ribbon proudly during October 17-25, to show
your support and a commitment to a drug free lifestyle.
