SAILORS TO TALK AT SCHOOL ABOUT DRUGS

Sailors from the Navy Reserve Center in Sioux Falls will speak at 2 p.m. 
today at a student assembly at Laura Wilder Elementary School in Sioux 
Falls about the dangers of illegal drugs.

The objective of the Navy Reserve's Campaign Drug Free program is to use 
Navy and Marine Corps members as a community-outreach resource for schools 
and youth groups.

In 1988, Congress passed legislation directing the Department of Defense to 
play a larger role in the war against drugs. Sioux Falls sailors distribute 
items that include coloring books, rulers and dog tags that carry the "Say 
no to drugs" message.
