WHEREAS, communities across America have been plagued by the
numerous problems associated with illicit drug use and individuals and
entities that traffic in them; and
WHEREAS, there is hope in winning the war on drugs, and that hope
lies in education and drug demand reduction, coupled with the hard work and
determination of organizations such as the Young Marines of the Marine
Corps League to foster a healthy, drug-free lifestyle; and
WHEREAS, governments and community leaders know that citizen
support is one of the most effective tools in the effort to reduce the use of
illicit drugs in our communities; and
WHEREAS, the Red Ribbon has been chosen as a symbol
commemorating the work of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, a Drug Enforcement
Administration agent who was murdered in the line of duty, and represents
the belief that one person can make a difference; and
WHEREAS, the Red Ribbon Campaign was established by Congress
in 1988 to encourage a drug-free lifestyle and involvement in drug prevention
and reduction efforts; and
WHEREAS, October 23-31, 2018 has been designated National Red
Ribbon Week, which encourages Americans to wear a Red Ribbon to show
their support for a drug-free environment.
NOW THEREFORE, I, Robert Hoog, Mayor of the City of Cape
Canaveral, Brevard County, Florida, hereby proclaim October 23-31, 2018 as
RED RIBBON WEEK
in the City of Cape Canaveral and urge all citizens to join me in this special
observance.
