In response to the killing of Agent Enrique Camarena in 1985, youth in communities and people who fight to eliminate the destruction caused by drug use began wearing \u201cRed Ribbons\u201d as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the killing and destruction caused by drugs in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrique (Kiki) S. Camarena was born on July 26, 1947, in Mexicali, Mexico. Kiki joined the Drug Enforcement Administration in June of 1974. His first assignment as a Special Agent with DEA was in a familiar place – Calexico, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 1985, he was believed to unlock a multi-billion-dollar drug pipeline. However, he was kidnapped on February 7, 1985 by five armed men who threw him into a car and sped away. It is believed that Special Agent Camarena’s death occurred two days later, but his body was not discovered until March 5, 1985.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1985, club members presented the “Camarena Club Proclamation” to then-First Lady Nancy Reagan, bringing it to national attention. Later that summer, parent groups in California, Illinois, and Virginia began promoting the wearing of red ribbons nationwide in late October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red Ribbon campaign was then formalized in 1988 by the National Family Partnership, with President and Mrs. Reagan serving as honorary chairpersons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
