State Sen. Patrick Gallivan (R-Elma) on Thursday joined the family of a deceased World War II Veteran in dedicating a portion of State Route 75 in the town of North Collins in his memory.
The stretch of Route 75 between Langford Road South to Shirley Road is now the Tec. 5 Edward Enser Memorial Highway.
For his military service, Enser earned the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Presidential Unit Citation, Croix de Guerre with Palm Orders, Distinguished Unit Badge, European African Middle Eastern Service Medal with eight battle stars, Army of Occupation Germany, Rhine, Danube Campaign Medals, World War II Victory Meda, and Good Conduct Medal.
Enser's sons, daughter and grandson Lt. Col. Kenneth Enser II, the Commander of the Force Support Squadron, 914th Air Reserve in Niagara Falls, also attended the Sisson Highway section dedication ceremonies held at the American Legion post in North Collins.
