Follow these simple tips to help ensure that you have a great Fourth of July weekend. Historically, this is one of the riskiest times of the year for boating and water-related activities and many fatalities occur. #LifeJacketsWornNobodyMourns @pleasewearit https://t.co/yjtFWdLJY8
July is an extremely busy time of year on our nation’s waterways, so please wear your life jacket and engine cutoff device. Always boat sober and operate your vessel in a safe and friendly manner. #LifeJacketsWornNobodyMourns https://t.co/MdO6jMvR3z
As the U.S. Army celebrated its 250th anniversary with a birthday parade in the nation's capital, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was hard at work behind the scenes and on the logistical front lines. 🔗: https://t.co/wTsO3bk1ac 📸: U.S. Army photo by Austin Hopkins https://t.co/mztgQZJpow
Every year things fly off of recreational boats, and the first instinct is to jump into the water. A hat is not worth losing your life over, so let it go or wear a life jacket while trying to retrieve it. #LifeJacketsWornNobodyMourns YouTube link: https://t.co/GeA1w7IN5T
Grab your life jacket and enjoy some fun in the sun! Wearing a life jacket when you’re in, on, or near open water (lakes, rivers, ponds, etc.) will help ensure that you have a great summer. @PleaseWearIt https://t.co/fRkSmzQPFl

A life jacket can’t save your life if it’s floating on top of the water and you’re sinking to the bottom. Having a life jacket on your boat, even if it’s “readily accessible,” is not good enough. #PleaseWearIt so you can enjoy boating another day. https://t.co/qwANN78BSK

Army Birthday Parade: Engineer discusses metal plating to protect roads
U.S. Army Col. Jesse Curry, director of the Office of the Chief of Engineers, walks through the use of metal plating designed to mitigate potential road damage in preparation for the upcoming Army Birthday Parade. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is leveraging its expertise to assist with planning of the Army’s 250th Birthday Parade, June 14, in Washington, D.C. We are coordinating with federal and district authorities, including the Federal Highway Administration, National Park Service, U.S. Park Police, District Department of Transportation, DC Water and local law enforcement. USACE has provided an assessment of the parade route as well as a collaborative plan for tracked vehicles to mitigate potential damage to roadways along the parade route. This includes positioning of temporary protective plating at key points along the route. Additional queries about the Army’s 250th birthday festivities, including the parade, may be referred to the Army Office of the Chief of Public Affairs’ Press Desk: usarmy.pentagon.hqda-ocpa.mbx.mrd-press-desk@army.mil.
