On September 11, 2001, CeeCee Lyles, a Fort Pierce, Florida native and flight attendant aboard United Airlines Flight 93, was among the passengers and crew members who lost their lives when the flight crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Lyles and her fellow passengers and crew are remembered for their extraordinary courage as they fought back against the hijackers, preventing Flight 93 from reaching its intended target.

Twenty-five years later, we remember CeeCee Lyles and honor her courage, sacrifice, along with all those whose lives were lost on September 11, 2001.
