To All Chapter Members:

Good afternoon, 

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.    May your celebrations bring you joy and peace this holiday season.    

This is a joyous, busy, happy time for most.   Should you need anything at all, please reach out to me or others in the Chapter.   

We will see you in the New Year as we are coming up on our Valentine’s General Membership Meeting and our pancake fundraiser.   More news to come.   We will be sporting our new shirts for the Pancake Breakfast which can be order by 10 Jan 2026

I wish you all well, safe journeys, good times and peace and joy. 

Merry Christmas on behalf of HCCMOAA.

What a very successful November for our High Country Chapter

We placed over 652 Flags on Veterans grave site at Mount Lawn Cemetery with 40 volunteers on Saturday 8 Nov 2025

We conducted our 19th Annual Veterans’ Day event at Boone Mall on Tuesday, 11 Nov 2025. Although our attendance was down a bit due to weather, our guests had the opportunity to remember and honor all our veterans with a inspiring invocation from Chaplain Jim Fisher and appropriate Veterans’ Day remarks from LTC Zack Jones, Professor of Military Science, AppState ROTC.

And finally, 17 volunteers retrieved our flags from MLC. on 15 Nov. We will inspect and store flags for Memorial Day 2026. Hope to see everyone again.
