On Thursday, Enterprise Mayor William (Bill) Cooper proclaimed May 26, 2023, as National Poppy Day in the City of Enterprise as he was surrounded by members of the American Legion Auxiliary.
"The day honors those who have served and died in the name of liberty, freedom, and democracy while also showing support for living veterans, servicemembers, and their families," Mayor Cooper said.
National Poppy Day is observed each year on the Friday before Memorial Day; poppies are worn and displayed to symbolize tribute to fallen and future veterans and service members.
"A nation at peace must be reminded of the price of war and the debt owed to those who have died in war," Mayor Cooper said. "Wearing a poppy will unite citizens from across the country who decide to show their patriotism."
Mayor Cooper encouraged everyone to wear a red poppy today (Friday) to show support and appreciation for the military.
