It will be followed by a wreath-laying ceremony from Enterprise first responders. Mike Sutterfield with the Military Affairs Committee said it is a time to remember the sacrifice first responders made and continue to make every day on the job.

“It’s in remembrance of the sacrifices of and selfless service of men and women, our brothers and sisters, mothers, fathers and children who provide for our communities with their selfless service, their selfless acts and the giving of their time and their lives every day,” Sutterfield said.
