  "account": "On September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93, carrying 40 passengers and crew, made a valiant attempt to thwart a terrorist attack. This courageous team of individuals refused to be mere pawns in the terrorists' deadly plot. Despite being overpowered, they managed to disrupt the hijackers' plans and ultimately caused the plane to crash in a field in Pennsylvania. These valiant heroes never received the recognition they deserved. Twenty-five years later, the United States still has not honored their bravery by granting them the Presidential Medal of Freedom. With this prestigious award, President Donald Trump can recognize the extraordinary heroism of these 40 individuals who demonstrated unwavering bravery during a tragic day in American history.",
