FORT LIBERTY, NC- Fort Liberty and the North Carolina Governor’s Highway Safety Program joined forces to highlight safety as we head into the summer season to Fort Liberty Soldiers and their Families. They organized a kickoff event at the Soldier Support Center, where exhibits from both Fort Liberty and the NCDOT emphasized properly using safety equipment such as seatbelts and the correct use of child seats.
Traditionally, the Memorial Day holiday marks the end of the school year and the unofficial beginning of summer, when many servicemembers travel to enjoy visits with their extended families and vacations. Fort Liberty’s 101 Critical Days of Summer highlights safety as Soldiers participate in summer activities.
Mark Ezzell, the NC Governor’s Highway Safety Program Director, welcomed the North Carolina Click It Or Ticket campaign that highlights additional enforcement through checkpoints and added troopers on the highways over the Memorial Day Holiday weekend. Ezzell said in his opening comments, “Last year there were 32 people killed on Cumberland County roads. Of those, 19 were unbelted. That’s 60% of the total number. So, we can clearly do better.” The statewide percentage is less at 44%, Ezzell related this to the higher number of at-risk demographics, 18-35 year olds, in Cumberland County.
There were booths and various displays for Soldiers to participate, including the “BAT” mobile, a large bus that can be used at checkpoints to test for impaired driving.
