Rudy Giuliani earned the nickname “America’s Mayor” for his actions during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. At the time, he was mayor of New York City (1994–2001), and he garnered significant acclaim for his leadership during the crisis. Hijackers struck the World Trade Center, causing the collapse of the two main towers and some 2,800 fatalities. Giuliani led the rescue and recovery efforts, and his actions helped unite the country. In addition to earning the nickname “America’s Mayor,” Giuliani was awarded an honorary knighthood by England’s Elizabeth II.
