Watauga Veterans Memorial

Entitled "Time and Honor,” and completed in 2018, the Watauga County Veterans Memorial was the dream of the High Country Chapter of Military Officers Association. The monument honors local veterans of all eras, from the Revolutionary War up to present-day conflicts. In the dedication ceremony on July 4, 2018, Boone Mayor Rennie Brantz stated, "This monument honors all those in our community who served and sacrificed in the defense of our country and its freedoms, and we need to honor them with this and keep this as a permanent reminder. As we visit Boone each day, we need to think of those that sacrificed and served this country.”
