Sens. Mike Enzi and John Barrasso have joined 12 other U.S. senators in introducing a resolution that will declare July 28 a day honoring the accomplishments and contributions of cowboys. It is the eighth year the resolution has been introduced. The late Wyoming U.S. Sen. Craig Thomas started the tradition of naming the fourth Saturday in July "National Day of the American Cowboy" in 2005. The day coincides each year with Cheyenne Frontier Days. After Thomas died, Enzi has continued the tradition in honor of his legacy. Enzi says the national cowboy day honors 1 of Wyoming's greatest symbols and offers a fitting tribute to the individuals who built and continue our agricultural heritage. He says cowboys are a symbol of the West and American culture.
