One of those people was Bradshaw, who grew up in Randolph County and later lived in Greensboro.

Bradshaw graduated from Eastern Randolph High School in 1981 before pursuing a career as a flight attendant with United Airlines.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, she was working aboard United Airlines Flight 93.

Flight 93 was hijacked by terrorists as part of the coordinated attacks against the United States. The hijackers intended to use the aircraft as a weapon against a target in Washington, D.C.

But the passengers and crew of Flight 93 fought back.

After learning about the other attacks, passengers realized that their aircraft was part of something much larger and that they were likely being used to carry out another attack.

They made the decision to act.

The struggle aboard Flight 93 ultimately ended when the aircraft crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, at 10:03 a.m.

All 40 passengers and crew members aboard the flight were killed.

But their actions prevented the hijackers from reaching their intended target.

Among those remembered is Bradshaw — a Randolph County girl who grew up, graduated from Eastern Randolph High School, became a flight attendant and found herself on one of the most consequential flights in American history.

Twenty-five years later, her story remains part of the larger story of September 11.

She wasn't simply a name on a list of victims.

She was a daughter, a friend, a neighbor, a graduate and a flight attendant who was doing her job that morning.

And when the moment came, she was part of a group of passengers and crew who chose to fight back.

Twenty-five years later, we remember Bradshaw.

We remember Flight 93.

And we remember the courage of the 40 people aboard that plane who refused to simply surrender.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸
