The announcement came shortly after Giuliani, aged 81, was hospitalized following a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >high-speed car crash<\/a> in New Hampshire. Giuliani is known for his leadership during the September 11 terrorist attacks, which earned him national recognition and the nickname &#8220;America&#8217;s mayor.&#8221; He served as NYC&#8217;s mayor from 1994 to 2001 and was named Time magazine&#8217;s Person of the year in 2001. Though, in recent years, Giuliani has become a controversial figure, particularly due to his role in challenging the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/katie-couric-trump-supporters-need-to-be-deprogrammed-video\/\" title=\"Katie Couric: Trump Supporters Need to Be \u201cDeprogrammed\u201d (VIDEO)\">2020 presidential election results<\/a> and facing legal and financial troubles, including a costly defamation lawsuit. Despite his injuries from the crash, his spokesman said he is in good spirits and recovering well. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian honor in the U.S., and Giuliani will be the 673rd recipient since its inception in 1963. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Giuliani to receive Presidential Medal of Freedom, Trump says<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2218395\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President Donald Trump announced that former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York City<\/a> Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rudy-giuliani\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rudy Giuliani<\/a> would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes two days after Giuliani, 81, was hospitalized from a high-speed car crash.
