Discover the true meaning of bravery, courage, and heroism as you learn the incredible story of United Flight 93. After their plane was hijacked on September 11, 2001, this exceptional group of ordinary people rose as one, stormed the cockpit, and fought back against pure evil. Because they took action, the hijackers crashed the plane into an empty Pennsylvania field instead of its intended target in Washington, DC, saving countless lives on the ground. Visiting the Flight 93 memorial gives you a special connection to the victims and their actions in a way that's hard to put into words. It will change your perspective on life, leaving you inspired to do good and leave your mark on the world in a profoundly positive way. Because that's the least we can do to thank and honor these true American heroes.
"And they left something else: a legacy of bravery and selflessness that will always inspire America. For generations, people will study the story of Flight 93. They will learn that individual choices make a difference, that love and sacrifice can triumph over evil and hate, and that what happened above this Pennsylvania field ranks among the most courageous acts in American history."
