WOW!!! Still get chills thinking about it.
p.s. if any p.o.s. kneels today, I am done watching for the season.
Firefighter here. Started in 1998 on a paid department, population 185,000. 9/11 will always have a feeling for me forever. So many fireman, cops, EMS, citizens tragically killed. Murdered. Here's to you boys & girls; I raise a glass to you and honor your spirit and commitment. Way to show the world what we do.
God Bless America.
God Bless our Military.
God Bless our Policemen,
Firemen and Paramedics.
Pray For Peace.
Prepare for War.
Enemies within AND without...
Know and study them for who they are and what they stand for.
To my fellow veterans that answered the call, thank you. Although some salty old timers criticize you now for being the working police you continue to answer the call because you believe in protecting all people that need it.
This day changed all our lives. I hope senior officers understand what these younger cops sacrificed the next time they want to knock their judgement.
Fifteen years after 9/11 nothing has been changed to deal with persons who overstay their visa.
Fifteen years and we still let assholes into this country because we have assholes in charge. We will never learn.
Some People have already forgotten.
Others claim it was our fault.
Thank you SCC for your yearly "9-11" posting.
Today is the saddest day of the year for so many of us in L.E. I relive that most tragic day every September 11. Grown men do cry ! Please raise the flag and kiss the ground of our great USA. Those NFL players who are disrespecting our country and disrespecting all the fallen of that dreadful day, civilian and first responders. People are still dying from the fallout from the fallen towers clouds of debris covering the great NYC.
Many of us lost friends that day, and we relive it all during the first weeks of September. Pray for us grieving souls who still cannot get over that dreadful Tuesday. All the poor people that perished and the fallen military that gave their lives for all Americans, you hear that NFL ?
God bless our great, and I would say, our PERFECT country, the USA.
All you current CPD guys still otj, please be careful and be safe. You are the hero' of out country. St. Michael is with you all.
RIP to those who died 15 years ago. Will always be remembered and never forgotten. And shame on those who choose to use this day as a platform for the bs oppression of blacks. It is an absolute disgrace and slap in the face to all Americans.

Now, kneel anywhere ye like.
Evil doesn't care what political persuasion or gender identity you align yourself to. This evil, which continues to plan and attack us, cares about stopping our free nation. Our nation's power isn't in a strong federal government that decides all our life choices for us, it's a Constutional Republic where the power rests in it's citizens. No mob rule, like a democracy. No despots or monarchs deciding our fate. Just a republic that enumerates and projects citizen's God Given rights to live free without an oppressive government infringing on personal liberties. That is America. That is evil's target.
How sad that in short 15 years people have forgotten what this country was established for. To protect every citizen. The minority and majority get the same protections. Now we have people desicrating our flag and infringing on their own rights without understanding that they are assisting evil in destroying the true Constitutional Republic in the world.
You should never forget 9-1-1, Chicago, Boston, San Bernadino. You should think about where your family would be without the protections and founding documents that this nation provides. I know it doesn't mean much to the LEFT to be a citizen, but understand that because of who we were founded to be, slaves were freed, women achieved equal citizen status and NASCAR born :).
Think about the victims of the heinous crimes I mentioned and picture the people that flung themselves out of the towers to avoid being crushed or burnt alive. Those were your neighbors and as each citizen or their rights die, that is another avenue for evil to encroach and degrade your rights.
God bless you and your family. Take a moment to reflect on your real enemy and make sure to vote for a candidate that will uphold our rights and ideals.
God Bless America.
God bless all first responders and military. Happy 16 years 00-5 class.
Now that I'm the one wearing the uniform I appreciate more and more what those men and women did on that day. Be careful out there, everyone. Appreciate what you have because one day it could be you running into that biildibg, or even responding to the "shots fired" call.
Off topic but here it is anyway...
At the 9-11 memorial today in NYC, Clinton appeared to suffer some type of medical episode and was immediately swooped out by her Secret Service team, nearly falling into the street, losing her shoes.......not much info at this point, and only one brief mention on news so far, but appears something happened and was taken off for medical care.....
Waiting to see if we get some answers here...
The trib has as it's headline today:
"As killings rise, cases go unsolved."
Cuck sockers!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!
The so-called Democratic Party, the enemie within!
Can u really trust the govt 2day?
Have a plan.
Commit your self to that plan.
Lord if it is my day to go
Let me go on top of a pile of spent brass.
NEVER EVER FORGET like the Democrats did.
We are the only good that stands between
The United states of America
and her enemies.
God bless the United States of America
God bless our military
God bless our Police
God bless our fire teams
Together we Will overcome
May everyone rip from that tragic day, this is another reason we need Trump protect our borders protect our country, then the video going around as hillary stumbles and falls, knees buckled people carrying her to van, look at drudgereport.com so many stories this woman is sick has a major illness, but she needs to stay in until trump defeats her, if something happens can election be delayed? Or can they stick another lying demorat in the spot to run?

I remember it like it was yesterday. Wasn't on the job yet still in college. It was a freaky day. A week later I dropped out of college and joined the marines. The world was a strange strange place then. I remember the night it happened and the following week at night watching F-16s flying in pairs over the city from north to south. The pairs would get just south of midway and one would break east and the other west. They would fly in a circle out over the lake and meet up north and fly in a pair until they got south again. It was really weird and cool at the same time. Not a single plane in the sky for days.
May God bless them all then this disgusting act by pathetic nfl boss:
http://nypost.com/2016/09/09/police-unions-slam-goodell-promise-to-pay-players-fine-if-he-wears-911-cleats/
Thugs like krapernick and his thug crew can disrespect this country but you cannot support the thin blue line!
I am looking up at a beautiful Chicago sky much like the one we saw on the news from New York fifteen years ago. We talk about where we were, who we called, who called us, Peter Jennings, being on standby...
but there really are no words to describe how we felt, how we feel now as a result of that day.
My heart hurts.
Sad that even after 15 years of the Government trampling all over American Citizens Constitutional Rights, we are no safer than we were back in 2001.
9/11/01, i was driving to court and listening to Mancow when he an ounced the second plane hit the second tower. He then said we are under attack. I have chills just typing this.
God Bless America .
Every American has the chance to put America first again, everyone must vote . Do not allow the wealthy contributors to control our future .
American Citizens , Veterans , Elderly , Homeless , Our Children and Grandchildren come First .
After all Americans are living above poverty level , with good schools ,health care not one undocumented or refugee should be allowed to receive any benefits .
Nothing wrong with that .
Remember AllLives Matter , that is the American Way .
We are a Land of Laws , Do Not Allow Politicians to pick what laws they think are Important .
Do Not allow 40% of voters to decide our future .

I agree 100% with both statements above.
Mexican Independence day is being celebrated on 26th Street today. It’s the who’s who in the democrat party for all those gathered to identify with. Lots of politicians waving other nation’s flags pandering to the adoring crowds with a get out the vote for the compassionate democrat candidate's message. Like a giant taxpayer funded political rally.
And by the way, why does the ACLU march in this parade? What are their connections to a foreign nation’s independence? Just an observation.
On July Fourth, 26th Street did not host a parade expressing pride in the U.S.A. A certain ruling political party did not sponsor a festive parade or a rally celebrating their own nation. Maybe assimilation and inclusiveness into an American culture isn’t an objective.
15 years later and we have more anti-american, safe space seeking, trigger word fearing, social justice spewing, entitled brats than ever in this country.
Boycott the NFL! They prohibited the Dallas Cowboys from showing support of police but do nothing to prohibit players from disrespecting the police thru sitting or kneeling during the anthem. We all can sit out a few games or as long as it takes to show solidarity. The NFL can't restrict some of the players when they're making a political statement (Dallas showing support for the police) but allow other jackasses to make political statements. Does the NFL gave a political agenda? If not then they should restrict all players from making any political statements during game time or practices or NFL sponsored events.
While remembering our fallen, what steps has our Mayor, City Council, and CPD Gold Clown Club taken to respond to a 911 type of attack?
When Rahm uses this day to get his mug on the evening news - you are looking at an opportunist who can't even properly keep up with attrition. Our understaffed, ill equipped department suffers due to your avarice, ego, and greed.
Ed the Stripper should resign before the Lie-tenant scandal spirals out of control.
And to the 48 AlderCreatures, have the courage to demand more police hires.
Thank you Ald. Napolitano and Sposato for demanding more staff for 016 & 017. Hold fast on the demand and don't let the city waffle.

Please stop watching the NFL.

I did NOT watch the Bears Game today as I am already done with the NFL.
Everyone should boycott the NFL until they make this guy either stand OR quit the league. Did you know his new fiancee is a Muslim, hip-hop DJ out of NY and she is more or less telling him to protest the US?
They let this guy sit while they tell the Dallas guys they cannot put anything on their uniforms for the cops who died in Dallas.
Sorry, but that does NOT sit right with me. Screw the whole NFL. Another organization with pussified leadership that I don't support.
I still remember that morning and watching it unfold. First thing I did was call my station (010) ON DAMEN and ask if we were mobilizing in some way shape or form. J.Schaff advised me to stay near the phone. I proceeded to get a "go" bag just in case. Very sad morning. Can't believe it's been 15 years.
15 years ago the country was horrified and united out of fear and patriotism. The divisive rhetoric of the Left started as soon as the initial shock wore off. To see the country as ignorant and divided as it is now desicrates the memories of so many brave heroic patriots that have paid the ultimate sacrifice. The current inhabitant of the highest office in the land will be outed eventually in the history books as the most racist Anti-American coward ever. Please pray for the memories and souls of those who unlike Obama love this country and would give their life to even protect imbeciles like Kaepernick or David Duke spewing their hateful idiocy.
The Obama administration just let the 10,000th Syrian "refugee" to enter the US, many who the government no longer has any idea where they are. Why is Obama and Hillary trying to kill more Americans? As long as they get rich I guess it's okay.
Such a sad,sad day in the history of America. Reminds me of my long deceased mother. In the early 80's, my mother(European born) had filed all the paperwork to have each member of the family obtain duel citizenship in her native Ireland. We all frequented Ireland/Europe and were given strict instructions to present our American passport at O'HARE security and beyond that ONLY use the Irish passport,both in flight and on ground, abroad. Granted the IRA was a forced to be reckoned with, but we all laughed it off as paranoia, over reaction, and thought she was crazy. It would not have mattered with those planes that went down on 9/11/01, but there were times when terrorists would demand passports and release the non American's. She WAS wise beyond her years. R.I.P 9/11 hero's, civilians (and Mom).
A very strange day, quiet and sad despite the flawless weather, the same as we had here 15 years back. Even the bugs that usually sing up in the trees seem hushed today. So much water over the dam since then, but you still always remember where you were, how you found out, who you were with, what was said.
It still doesn't seem real after all this time.
Still have the note left by a family member. "Turn on TV -- national emergency!"
"What the hell happened?" I yelled, seeing the vast cloud rolling over the Hudson towards Jersey. She could only point at the screen. We sat together and figured it all out slowly.
That eerie empty sky, the silence over the Kennedy when everything was grounded for days...Bush visiting the Norwood Restaurant, guys in black with binoculars up on the roof...the poor upset cashier at Norwood Drugs who thought I suddenly might be some kind of terrorist because of the small bag I put my newspapers in when I came in every Thursday...I couldn't get mad, we were all shaken.
Firemen holding out boots for relief contributions by the Dominick's on Belmont in River Grove...
Don't feel much like sports or celebrations or politics today, thanks. Would have liked to go to Mass but I needed rest more. The good Lord can still hear me here at home.
Makes you more aware of the beautiful day, of all the things we are given.
Peace to all.
God bless all the heroes who ran into the towers as everyone else was running away. Also to the heroes on flight 93 who fought back and saved lives. May we never forget.
The NFL mutts are kneeling down on Sept 11 keep spending money going to games and buying jerseys. What a shithead country we've become.
May God bless and watch over all our military and first responders. Never forget
I am so thankful for all the men and women who have served and are serving in our U.S. Military. If it wasn't for them who knows what kind of lifestyle we would be living. To the men and women who are serving (or have served) in law enforcement and the firefighting field you too have my eternal gratitude. Please stay safe and try not to think about the those misguided individuals who are playing in the NFL and feel that they can use their status in an attempt to disrespect all that you have accomplished. I can tell you right now, THEY WONT WIN! You should all continue to serve proudly and do what you do best on a day to day basis. Please recognize your families and tell them how much you love them! Stay Safe out there!
Ret Lt. (019th Dist)
The reality, right down there with it. This guy's lucky to be alive.

This post really addresses what's going wrong in our country today.
My grandparents came here eager to become Americans. They learned the language and they flew the American flag with pride and gratitude.
Now, since America has made it abundantly clear it will cater to whatever language you speak, or behavior you exhibit, too many are coming here with the intent of planting their OWN flag on our soil and eroding what America stands for. Or maybe I should say 'stood for'.
I'm so disheartened to see government clawing and lying and cheating and stealing, for the sole sake of the comfort and ambitions of career politicians. We have no representatives anymore; we have kings and princesses who are certain they know better than we do how our lives should be lived and how our money should be allocated. And they will do or say whatever they must, catering to whatever groups they must, to get themselves re-elected for life.
God bless America and everyone be safe. We are lucky to be here in this great country. It's not perfect but it's better than most to all other places.
And despite the significance of the day, still some NFL shitbirds couldn't even be bothered to show respect for the lives lost in the attacks and afterwards.
Here's to you, shitbirds. I shit in your helmets.

Everything is driven by the all-mighty dollar, so there's no reason to stop watching except principle. Principles being taken out of the equation, then you do this >>>
It takes a lot more effort, but it's time to contact EVERY SPONSOR of the games, the shows, the individual athlete, and tell them you will NOT buy their products and you control the purchases for several people in your household and extended family and you will make it clear NO MONEY is to go to those products, sponsors or athlete's sponsors.
And THAT, unfortunately, is how we will effect change.

Well said, brother....also now we have to worry about offending muslims. I do not care about what followers of Islam think. I remember people having to decide to fling themselves to an impact death or be smelted alive in the name of this fanatical religion. If the followers are that thin-skinned leave the U.S. and head to your point of initial origin. I'm still angry and i won't forget the people and first responders that perished in this cowardly act.
According to DIJ homocides spiking across the country while Obama talks about unfair police treatment of minorities. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-11/doj-study-finds-spike-homicides-around-us-real-and-nearly-unprecedented

========
George Bush, Jeb Bush, Juan McCain, Mitt Romney and the GOP Establishment do not want to change it.
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat Establishment want to open the borders even more.
Trump promises to close the borders. He promises to ENFORCE THE LAWS!!!
I am voting Trump.
The NFL >does not equal< America. We can get by just fine without them. Whether or not they can get by without us to stuff their pockets full of money is another question.
Lots of people can name all the football players. How many can name even one cancer or Alzheimer's researcher who is actually doing something useful?
Overpaid, overwrought, overpoliticized, over-racialized, over-concussed, over-commercialized. Ads for beer and trucks and trucks and beer to soap the brains right out of your head. Beyonce' and Assata's Daughters up there at halftime waving BLM signs.
Sit, kneel, lay flat on your faces for all I care.
Nothing to do anymore with the spirit of this country, or of this day.
Neanderthal, Amen!
God bless America and never forget!

You have no idea of what you speak, sir.
We are not as safe under this administration as we could be, but compared to 2001 we are whole orders of magnitude safer against a terrorist attack than you can even begin to imagine.
I didn't have an appointment until later that morning, so I slept in. Woke up from dreams about planes flying into buildings, to the clock radio. Rushed to get on the road and called my client. Meeting canceled, they're going home. I came downtown anyway, in case something happened and I could help. Ended up walking through the ghost town the Loop had become. Silent skies, very few people, strangest, saddest day in memory. Still have dreams about planes flying into buildings, and I wasn't even there. It's always the same exact feeling from that day. God bless the first responders, and especially to all those who have lost their lives protecting the rest of us.
What ever caused Clinton to fallout in New York wasn't pneumonia.
Boycott the NFL
/salute to all those, whom serve
To all the posters of this subject matter of "9-11", may God bless and keep all of you and your family close. SCC, again, thak you for your great spirit for out country.
You are true Americans and I am proud to write this message to below yours.
It still breaks so many American' heart; reliving that day in 2001.
Yes, the National Felony League Jag off; dissed out county on "9-11, anyone who speaks of pro football in my presence might that a slap. You fans that support the NFL that did zero to stop the ghetto thug prayer' show their hate for the country, a big fuck you.
You people go support the bears as George Halas rows in his grave, You see any football million dollar baby' voice their disapproval for the rats that sat out ?
Boycott NFL. The NBA will be way worse this season. The bulls attendance needs to go back to 1500 a game, like in the 1980;.
Sad that 15 years later we have a president that thinks police are the problem as does the mayor of NYC. There are millions more muslims in the country both due to immigration and conversions. 9/11 was the best thing to ever happen to islam in the US. We still don't have the student visa program under control and to top it all off the southern border is wide open now and the president is funneling in as many "refugees" as possible.
WHY? Why do we celebrate any other country's independence day?
I understand having cultural festivals, but independence days?!!!
Fuck them!
God bless America!
God bless our police & fire!

Words cannot express how deeply flawed you are to post this today. Look at yourself and try to fix it.
To the men and women that serve here and abroad, thank you from my family and sincere best wishes for yours.

Like Al Capone, who died 7 years later after catching a bad dose of STD, his mind went. Could it be that the democrat nominee might of succumb to this. Just saying !
Big Al, when he got out of the joint had weak legs and was dehydrated often.
I hope she gets better and we hear her calling Donnie Boy after she loses the election. Pray for her recovery. If she pulls out of the process, the stooge of Barry, Biden will take the place. I had a pet carp that was smarter.
