Lawmakers tweet 'never forget' 9/11

Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle were united in tweeting about the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on Tuesday.

Some, such as Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), headed to memorials to mark the date. Israel tweeted a photo from the 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) headed to the Empty Sky Memorial, on the Jersey side of the Hudson River across from the World Trade Center site. 

Sens. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Rep. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and many other members of Congress tweeted in memory of Americans lost on this day in 2001.
