To posthumously award a Congressional gold medal on behalf of each person aboard United Airlines Flight 93 who helped resist the hijackers and caused the plane to crash.
Summary
This bill proposes posthumously awarding the Congressional Gold Medal—the highest civilian honor bestowed by Congress—to the passengers and crew members of United Airlines Flight 93 who resisted the hijackers during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Under this legislation, the Attorney General would identify those who aided the resistance efforts, and the medals would be presented to their next of kin in recognition of their heroic service to the nation. Additionally, the U.S. Treasury would be authorized to create and sell bronze duplicates of the medal to the public, with the proceeds supporting the United States Mint.
