Skokie flies WTC Patriot Flag
The Skokie Fire Department proudly displayed a 30' x 50' Patriot Flag on June 16, 2011, as part of a national journey to honor the memory of those lost on September 11, 2001. The flag was flown from Skokie Truck Co. No. 18 at the corner of Skokie Blvd and Golf Road, with members of the Skokie Fire and Police Honor Guard providing ceremonial honors during its raising.
Lieutenant Hank Sajovic of Skokie Truck Co. No. 18 shared the story behind the event, explaining that the flag travels across all 50 states and will be raised at the three locations where Americans were killed on 9/11. This special display in Skokie was part of the week-long celebration leading up to the anniversary.
Photos captured the moment the massive flag was hoisted on an extended aerial ladder, with firefighters and police officers standing proudly in the background. The flag's towering presence was a powerful symbol of unity and remembrance, drawing attention from residents and visitors alike.
In addition to the flag, a banner featuring the names of all the victims of 9/11 traveled with it, serving as a moving reminder of the day that changed the nation forever. Captain Dan Smith, Jim Walters, and retired FDNY Lieutenant Joe Torrillo were among the honored guests present for the event.
The flag’s journey continued through Illinois, with stops in Chicago, Orland Park, Joliet, Marseilles, and Springfield. It was a powerful way to keep the memory of 9/11 alive and to show support for first responders and communities across the country.
