Safety tips for Memorial Day weekend

A 3-day weekend - yeah!  It's the unofficial beginning of summer, so many of us will spend the weekend outdoors.  Just remember to be safe while enjoying.

Wear sunscreen all day, but follow the "Shadow Rule" -- if your shadow is shorter than you are, the sun's damaging rays are at their strongest and you are likely to burn.

Supervise young kids in the pool - ideally you should have one adult for every two children in the pool watching at all times.

Keep cold food cold, hot food hot, and refrigerate any leftovers within 2 hours.

Let's also remember what this holiday is about.  Send the troups a virtual thank you card at www.ourmilitary.mil/index.aspx.

Have a great weekend!!
