This is a tribute to Rudy Giuliani, who was named “America’s Mayor” at a 9-11 ceremony. Time Magazine named him “2001 Person of the Year” and the “Mayor of the World” for his heroic leadership to transform New York City into the safest large city in America, and lead the city back from the brink of chaos in the wake of the worst terrorist attack in our country’s history on September 11, 2001. He received an honorary knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II and the Presidential Freedom Award from President Ronald Reagan. No one believed it was possible to save our crumbling city, but under Mayor Giuliani’s leadership, New York City was restored as the thriving capital of the world.
