Christa Miller, television actress and co-star of the NBC hit comedy “Scrubs,” added her voice of support in 2007. As a spokesman for the national “Wear It!” campaign – Miller said she can’t imagine boating without a life jacket. “When you consider that ten seconds (to put on a life jacket) could save your life in the event of a boating accident,” she said, “there is no question that my children, husband and friends are going to wear one – every time we go out on our boat.” CLICK HERE to see and hear her presentation.
