Mayor of New York City during 9/11
"When I was selected, I felt that it was a vindication of what everyone else had done the firefighters, the police officers, the rescue workers, the construction workers. It was a reaffirmation of the spirit of New York City. I've signed that cover more than I've signed anything, with the possible exception of my picture with [former Yankees manager] Joe Torre."
