President Donald Trump has announced that he will award Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. Trump shared the news on his Truth Social platform on Labor Day, stating that more details about the award ceremony would be provided soon.
In his post, Trump praised Giuliani as “the greatest Mayor in the history of New York City” and an “American Patriot.” He expressed gratitude for the public’s attention to this announcement and concluded with his campaign slogan, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
This announcement comes shortly after Giuliani, who is 81 years old, was involved in a serious car accident in New Hampshire. Reports indicate that another vehicle struck his car from behind at high speed. Giuliani’s head of security, Michael Ragusa, explained that Giuliani had just assisted a woman who was a victim of domestic violence before the accident occurred. He stayed on the scene until help arrived, only to be hit while driving on the highway. The 19-year-old driver of the other vehicle also sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Giuliani served as New York City’s mayor from 1994 to 2001 and gained national recognition for his leadership during the September 11 attacks in 2001. His response to the crisis earned him the nickname “America’s Mayor.” In his book “Leadership,” Giuliani reflected on his experiences that day, emphasizing the importance of communicating with the public and providing reassurance during such a tragic time.
As the nation looks forward to the upcoming ceremony, Giuliani’s contributions to New York and his actions in times of crisis are being recognized once again.
