Moreover, Mayor of Houston Sylvester Turner marked the Sept. 11 attacks in a statement.
He said that "it is a day to reflect on the extraordinary bravery of first responders, the unimaginable grief of the victims' families, the fragility of our democracy and the miracle of life itself."
The United Nations Security Council on Tuesday observed a moment of silence for the victims of the 9/11 attacks prior to a meeting on Syria, at the UN headquarters in New York.
The United States came under multiple terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, after four civilian aircraft were hijacked and steered toward prominent U.S. buildings.
Three of the planes hit their targets in New York and Washington D.C., while the fourth crashed en route to Washington as its passengers battled for control of the aircraft with the hijackers.
The attacks left nearly 3,000 killed or missing and were the largest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in history.
