Drug Demand Reduction (DDR Dash) 5K –

“Honoring “Enrique “Kiki” Camarena was a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent, who lost his life in the effort to keep harmful drugs off the streets of America. In commemoration of Kiki’s sacrifice, and in acknowledgment of the thousands of agents and officers just like him who strive to make our world a safer place, the Young Marines run the Drug Demand Reduction (DDR Dash) 5K as part of our national Red Ribbon Week efforts.“
Manassas Young Marines had a blast at the annual DDR Dash! Congratulations to all the kids as well as our own Chaz Salyers for winning 1st place for male YMs and Olivia Medina in 1st Place for female YMs. After the race everyone gathered for a beautiful Honor Walk for our Vietnam Vets and rallied for some push-ups. Thank you Young Marines for another amazing event.
