Red Ribbon Week is in honor of Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. Camarena served in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1968 for two years and then joined the Drug Enforcement Administration. Camarena was detailed to go to Mexico, where he remained on the “trail of the country’s biggest marijuana and cocaine traffickers,” according to the DEA. However, in 1985, Camarena was brutally tortured and murdered by drug traffickers that he was investigating in Mexico. Camarena received two Sustained Superior Performance Awards, a Special Achievement Award and, posthumously, the Administrator’s Award of Honor, the highest award granted by the DEA.
