Jewett was being honored for the night in 1987 when he apprehended a man who carried a bomb into the United States from Canada.

FILE - In this Aug. 29, 2017 file photo, fisheries experts move a landlocked Atlantic salmon caught by net in the Huntington River into a bucket in Huntington, Vt. Statistics kept by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that 42 salmon were trapped in fall 2018, at the Winooski River fish passage where technicians carried them around the dam and released them upstream so they could continue to their spawning grounds. That number compares to 84 trapped in the Lake Champlain tributary in 2017, and a high of 189 in 2011. The 2018 figure was the lowest since 2009. (AP Photo/Wilson Ring, File)
