STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擬ississippi 性视界传媒 University and Starkville Area Habitat for Humanity gave attendees of today鈥檚 [March 29] 12th annual Maroon Edition home dedication ceremony many reasons to smile.

Located in Sunset subdivision, the home honoring Starkville native Matt Savage was built for Starkville residents Santana Turnipseed and Chadrick Robinson and their five children.

Savage is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point who sustained severe injuries in a motorcycle accident. He retired from the Army at the rank of captain in April 2020 after seven years of service. His attorney Wayne Rogers of Birmingham, Alabama, made a contribution to Habitat for Humanity that was used to honor Savage through construction of the home, which is Habitat鈥檚 70th home in Oktibbeha County. A former partner of DeGaris and Rogers LLC law firm, Rogers now serves as executive assistant for the Jefferson County Sheriff鈥檚 Office in Birmingham.
