## Resource

This weekend in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, honor service and sacrifice at Jesse Strong Patriots Day in Irasburg—celebrating the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and remembering Marine Sgt. Jesse Strong, who died in Iraq in 2005. His mom Vicki says hearing his name brings comfort. The day features music by Jamie Lee Thurston and Northern Lights, speeches honoring first responders and fallen heroes, and a scholarship fund in Jesse’s name. Future events will honor other fallen patriots like Border Patrol Agent David Maland and Vietnam veteran Dean Johnson. Whether you arrive by ATV, bike, or car, it’s a moving blend of reflection, gratitude, and community fun. Tickets at JesseStrong.com; camping is free.
