Howard Hagen was a stellar example and mentor of mine. His commitment to and personal love for our great country and keen interest in my military career meant a great deal. I always felt and appreciated the support of my USAF/Wyoming Cowboy uncle, despite my Army and BYU affiliation. Nita, Jim, and Family are in our prayers.
