Drive, Boat Responsibly
To The Editor:

As we kick off the start of summer this Memorial Day with picnics, barbecues and out-of-town trips, it's important that we remember to make responsible choices when celebrating, such as drinking responsibly and designating a driver or skipper. You'll be joining the more than 146 million American adults who have either been or used a designated driver.

When we choose safety first, we not only help keep our roads and waterways safe, we do our part to prevent drunk driving. In fact, because of efforts like these, along with effective law enforcement and community-based alcohol awareness and education programs, Memorial Day drunkdriving fatalities are down 33 percent since 1982, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Let's do our part to drive drunk-driving fatalities lower by making responsible choices this Memorial Day weekend. We can all make a difference in the fight against drunk driving. Remember, Responsibility Matters!
Sincerely,
