BOAZ, AL (WAFF) - Students at a Boaz Middle School have started a petition to congress that would give awards to surviving family members of flight 93, whose members banned together to fight a terrorist attack on 9-11.

Passengers worked together to attack the terrorists that day and kept them from hitting their target, students feel they acted in the form of a militia and should be honored as such.

"Our goal is to see this go before the legislature and see them in the end award them the congressional medal of honor to the families of the victims of flight 93," said Rissa Parrish, a social studies teacher.

Parrish also said they plan to present the petition to congressman Robert Aderholt.
