In many previous years, the High Country community has honored fallen heroes on Memorial Day at the Boone Mall. This event has been co-sponsored by the High Country Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America, the Watauga Community Band, and the Boone Mall. For the past two years, the ceremony has been canceled out of respect for the health and safety of the community due to the pandemic.
