William R. Boone High School Foundation

Today, we remember the 33 Boone Braves who gave their lives during the Vietnam War.

Their names live on in the Boone Braves Memorial Garden, a space rededicated in 2019 when the memorial was thoughtfully moved from its original location in front of the auditorium. While the setting changed, the purpose did not, to ensure their legacy is honored, remembered, and carried forward.

These were Boone students. Classmates. Teammates. Neighbors.
Young men whose lives were forever connected to this school and this community.

At Boone, legacy is not just something we talk about, it is something we live. And today, we pause to reflect on the weight of that legacy and the responsibility we all share in remembering it.

We honor their service.
We remember their sacrifice.
And we commit to never letting their names be forgotten.
