DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena's death in 1985 touched the nation deeply, and Americans felt outraged and frustrated that more could not be done to end the brutal violence of the drug war. In order that Camarena's sacrifice not be forgotten and to demonstrate their own commitment to take a stand against drug abuse, Americans began wearing red ribbons.
As this tribute spread across the nation, the Virginia Federation of Parents and the Illinois Drug Education Alliance called on members of grassroots organizations across the country to wear a red ribbon. Today, millions of Americans across the nation and around the world proudly wear red ribbons during the last week of October as a symbol of their commitment to make America drug free. The Red Ribbon Campaign has also grown into a symbol of support for DEA's efforts to reduce demand for drugs through prevention and education programs.
