Maybe it's too late, but here it goes.

We can use the attribute EnumMember to manage Enum values.

public enum EUnitOfMeasure
{
    [EnumMember(Value = "KM")]
    Kilometer,
    [EnumMember(Value = "MI")]
    Miles
}

This way the result value for EUnitOfMeasure will be KM or MI. This also can be seen in Andrew Whitaker answer.
