Thank You, Mr. Mayor

We desperately needed a leader -- and Rudy (pictured, left) was there. Brave, focused, never far from the front lines, and clearly suffering with us, Rudy was one of the many reasons we were proud to be New Yorkers that week. Also pictured: President Bush, center; NYC Fire Commissioner Thomas Van Essen, right; Governor George Pataki, back left; and Senator Chuck Schumer, back right.
