🇺🇸 Remembering D-Day

Today, we honor those who took part in the historic D-Day invasion June 6,1944, whose sacrifice changed the course of history.

"You are about to embark on the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well-trained, well-equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely"

- Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower

Free fishing weekend is upon us! On June 6-7, no state fishing license is required to fish in Oklahoma. Still check local regulations, as some cities or lakes require a local fishing license.

Weather can change quickly.

If you are planning to visit a lake, river or recreation area this weekend, take a few minutes to check the forecast and monitor weather conditions throughout the day. Thunderstorms can develop rapidly and with them can come lightning, strong winds, heavy rain and dangerous water conditions.

A little preparation can make a big difference.

USACE data shows men account for 88% of drowning victims, making them significantly more likely to drown than women.

Weather you are boating, fishing or enjoying time near the water, wear a properly fitted, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket every time.
