Today marks the 13th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. Members of Congress paid their tribute to those killed in the attacks and in the ensuing Global War on Terror in a variety of ways, including on the social media platform Twitter. Here is a sampling of their tweets commemorating the 9/11 anniversary.
