National Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet Day

{Booneville, Kentucky}...The Operation UNITE Pill Dragon, which was given to UNITE officials by the Kentucky National Guard in 2010, burned its one millionth pill Monday afternoon in Owsley County as lawmakers joined Congressman Hal Rogers and community members in participating in National Clean Out Your Medicine Cabinet Day. Rogers gave medicine lock boxes to the county sheriff to help people get rid of unwanted drugs even when the Pill Dragon is not in town. Rogers recognized Senator Robert Stivers of Manchester for his efforts in allocating state funding for Operation UNITE and paid tribute to Lt. Col. Brian Howay of the Ky. National Guard for his efforts to fight drugs.
