The holidays are a time of joy for many, and an opportunity for all of us to express our thanks and gratitude to those who serve our country. However, during this time of celebration, it is important to remember to stay safe and healthy.  From the services come these tips from leaders sending wishes for a healthy holiday season.

Labor Day is dedicated to the achievements of American workers and the contributions they make to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. Labor Day weekend also marks the end of the 101 Critical Days of summer; a period historically associated with increased mishaps. Over this Labor Day weekend take a well-deserved break and recharge. Bear in mind we must always exercise safety and continuously manage risk.

 

As we enter the remaining month of this fiscal year, MEDCOM's accidential fatalities are down significantly- yet we still lost three members of our MEDCOM family to preventable accidents. Unsafe operation of vehicles continues to be the leading cause of accidental fatalities both Army and MEDCOM-wide.

This weekend we will celebrate our country’s freedom and commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence 234 years ago.

 

As we celebrate America’s birthday, we thank our service members, who volunteer to protect our freedom and liberty. At the Fourth of July parades, barbeques, and fireworks displays that will take place all over the United States, please take time to think about the service members currently deployed in harm’s way who cannot be at home to enjoy the holiday.

 

Have a safe and happy Independence Day!
