ST. GEORGE — Dixie High School, city officials and Air Force junior ROTC members from 10 schools gathered on April 15 for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and dedication of the Senior Master Sergeant Morgan Hager Memorial Obstacle Course in honor of the former JROTC leader who died in September 2020.
The ceremony took place during the state Air Force junior ROTC fitness competition, known as the Dixie O'Course Challenge. With the family of Hager in attendance, local leaders, community members and former cadets of the military program were able to pay their respects and observe the ribbon-cutting at the newly revamped obstacle course.
"This program was very important to Morgan," Robyn Hager, wife of Morgan Hager said. "It changed his world."
One of the current Dixie High Air Force junior ROTC leaders, Lt. Col. Ken Field, welcomed everyone to the ceremony and summarized Morgan Hager's life and career.
