One Town's Terror: 9/11, Iraq and Burlington Vermont

Every village, town and city in the United States was touched by the unprecedented acts of terrorism of September 11, 2001. Perhaps few locales, however, felt the force of this impact more than Burlington, Vermont and its surrounding villages. According to author Robert Ivker, the city of Burlington and the state of Vermont have sent more citizen-soldiers into active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan than most other states in the country. At the same time, Burlington has been at the forefront of a wide range of anti-war, pro-peace movements and boasts the country's only Socialist member of Congress.
