The House of Representatives on Wednesday marked today's anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by passing H. Res. 722 by a vote of 416-yes; 0-no; 18-not voting. The Resolution mourns and remembers those killed on that day. It also: "asserts, in the strongest possible terms, that the fight against terrorism is not a war on any nation, any people, or any faith," and "calls on all Americans to renew their devotion to the universal ideals that make the Nation great: freedom, pluralism, equality, and the rule of law."
CNN reports on other major events that will take place today to mark the anniversary-- memorial services in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania and a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. (the time the first hijacked plane hit the World Trade Center) led by President Obama, Michelle Obama and White House staff on the South Lawn of the White House
