A plaque honoring Dion Stephenson of Bountiful, who was killed in a friendly fire incident during the Persian Gulf War in 1991, will be dedicated Dec. 19 at Woods Cross High School. Stephenson, who graduated in 1987, was a 22-year-old Marine when he was killed during Operation Desert Storm in January 1991. Dec. 19 would be his 26th birthday.
A plaque will be presented to the Stephenson family by Principal Doug Beer and then will be placed on the school's Freedom Wall.
