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
