Bingham, along with fellow passengers and crew members, were able to take down the terrorists who hijacked the plane originally en route from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco.
United 93 went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and was the only hijacked plane that failed to reach the terrorists' target that day.
Jackson shared a photo of the hero on Monday with the accompanying caption:
"Thinking of you today Mark Bingham."
"It was a privilege portraying you in the film #United93 and I honor your memory as well as your mother Alice Hoagland’s and all of the souls lost that day."
"#NeverForget"
Viewers of Jackson's post thanked the actor for remembering the hero, and acknowledged Bingham's bravery as well.

Following Bingham's death, his mother, Alice Hoagland, rallied to preserve a gay rugby movement her son had helped set in motion just before 9/11.
The world's largest gay rugby tournament, honorably renamed the Bingham Cup, debuted in San Francisco in 2002.
Hoagland died in December 2020 at 71 years of age.
A lovely tribute to both.
