	Week, which is being celebrated October 23 through 31, 2023; and
	WHEREAS, Young Marines is a youth program that serves boys

	WHEREAS, Red Ribbon Week, celebrated annually throughout
	the nation, began in 1988 to honor Special Agent Enrique "Kiki"
	Camarena of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration;
	Agent Camarena was killed in Mexico in 1985 as a result of his
	work in combatting illegal drugs and drug-trafficking, and the
	wearing of a red ribbon and celebration of Red Ribbon Week pays
	tribute to his life and service and signifies a commitment to
	promoting education and awareness about drug-use prevention; and
	WHEREAS, Organized by the National Family Partnership, a
	nationwide coalition formed in 1980 to combat drug use by young
	people, the Red Ribbon Campaign is the nation's oldest and
	largest drug prevention awareness program; this year, the
	Guadalupe Valley Young Marines is holding its Fourth Annual Kiki
	Camarena Run with a Ride to Be Drug Free event taking place on
	October 21, 2023; and
	WHEREAS, The Guadalupe Valley Young Marines' participation
	in Red Ribbon Week plays a key role in encouraging and equipping
	communities in Texas to educate youth about drug-use prevention,
	and it is indeed fitting that this outstanding organization receive
	recognition on its important efforts and its participation in this
	exemplary national event; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
	Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend the members of
	the Guadalupe Valley Young Marines on their many contributions to
	the health and well-being of young people in Texas and extend to
	all participating in Red Ribbon Week best wishes for this year's
	celebration; and, be it further
