ENTERPRISE, Ala (WDNews)- The City of Enterprise is mourning the loss of Daniel Munger, a beloved husband, father, veteran, and instructor pilot, who was tragically killed Wednesday in a helicopter crash at Fort Novosel. In a statement, Mayor William E. Cooper expressed the city’s grief: “Our prayers are with the Munger family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. CW3(R) Munger, 46, served his country and upon retirement chose to continue to share his passion with future Army aviators. May his legacy continue to fly with those he taught, and his memory live on.”
Mayor Cooper also extended prayers for the student pilot injured in the crash, as well as the entire Army aviation community, as they continue to heal.
“Fort Novosel is our neighbor. This loss will be felt throughout the Wiregrass and beyond. With Fort Novosel serving as the Army’s primary training facility for helicopter pilots, may we look toward the sky the next time we hear the sounds of freedom and remember the service and sacrifice of the men and women who choose to put on the uniform and keep them and their families in our prayers. May God Bless the Munger family and May God Bless America,” Cooper concluded.
