BURNET, Texas---Sgt. 1st Class Lee Kirkland, Spc. Jacob Raygo and Sgt. Irma Flores of the Texas National Guard Joint Counterdrug Task Force stand behind their booth during Join the Journey’s Safe and Drug Free Wellness Fair in Burnet, Texas, February 7, 2019. The Task Force members encouraged students to try on fatal vision goggles and try to catch a ball. The exercise is intended to educate them on the negative effects of drug and alcohol use. The Join the Journey fair began 6 years ago with the goal of addressing drug use in the community. Local law enforcement, coalitions and wellness organizations also attended the event. Counterdrug Task Force members routinely partner and participate in drug use awareness and prevention events to educate their local communities.
