President Donald Trump paid tribute on Sept. 11, to the “band of brave patriots” aboard a Sept. 11 flight that crashed in a Pennsylvania field 17 years ago, praising the passengers and crew members who sent the message that the nation would “never, ever submit to tyranny.”
The president and first lady Melania joined an observance at the Sept. 11 memorial in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where one of the jetliners crashed to the ground after 40 passengers and crew members realized hijackers had taken control and tried to storm the cockpit.
