Patriot’s Day isn’t just a day on the calendar—it’s a moment to pause and reflect on the events of 9/11 and the impact they’ve had on us all. For many, it’s also a time to find peace and healing, and what better place to do that than in the great outdoors? Whether you’re hiking through the mountains, casting a line in your favorite fishing spot, or heading out for an archery season hunt, being out in nature gives us space to think, remember and reconnect.

Hunting, in particular, offers a unique way to clear your mind and focus on the present. The quiet moments spent in the woods or on the plains allow time for reflection, while the thrill of the chase reminds us of the freedoms we enjoy. So, this Patriot’s Day, take a break from the everyday hustle, spend some time outdoors, and let nature be the perfect backdrop for remembering and honoring the resilience of our nation.
