Here’s a photograph posted to Sen. Daniel Inouye‘s Twitter account during a Freedom Award ceremony on Capitol Hill Thursday evening. 

The 87-year-old senator accepted the award along with Michigan Democratic Rep. John Dingell,also pictured above. Both men have been in Congress for more than half a century.

Rep. Mazie Hirono also used Twitter to congratulate them:
