Chicago Vigil
Posted August 22, 2008
Too many lives, which held so much promise, have been lost to drugs. Too many dreams and potential, never realized. Our hopes for them dashed…and our worst fears for them came true. Their flames were snuffed out well before their time. Who would they have become? What would they have contributed to our world-a world which is so less rich because their talents vanished from our midst. Their promise lost-the athlete, the actress, the budding star, the little brother or sister…the young adult looking forward to the promise life held…and the adult who couldn't face the future.
National Symposium
December 4, 2001 at the DEA Museum, Arlington, Virginia
Posted August 22, 2008
The events of September 11, 2001 had a profound impact on American life. The activities of a group of globally-based terrorists have impacted society in a way few imagined possible. What few Americans realize, however, is the inexorable and historical links between the activities of terrorists and those of narcotics traffickers around the world. To educate the American public about this link, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Museum and the DEA Educational Foundation launched an effort to build a first-class educational program to share with the American public the significant and complex relationships between terrorism and drug trafficking. This symposium is the first step in bringing together the best minds in the field for a provocative discussion on this important subject. The subsequent traveling exhibit provides the public with a never-before-seen look into the world of narco-terrorism.
