Red Ribbon Week 2016
Master Sgt. James Grant, G-4, 4th Marine Division, Marine Forces Reserve, leads a guided discussion on drug and alcohol abuse during Red Ribbon Week at the New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy, Oct. 20, 2016. Grant had the students name as many past Presidents as they could, and then compared that to the number of different drugs and alcohols they could come up with. This was used to show the students that they are surrounded by drug paraphernalia and advertisements on a daily basis, and that the choices they make now can have a significant impact on their future.
