New York A Tribute to the City and its People Respected Ladies and Gentlemen, This speech of mine is one that I can proudly state as besides being a personal tribute from myself to the city of New York and its people, it also represents a tribute by all the worlds peace loving populace in recognition of the extraordinary courage and resilience that the people of New York have exhibited after the 9/11 dastardly terrorist attacks. These attacks were at the very heart its proud citizens, but this city and its residents have proved that they do not only have a lions heart but also a giant heart and have enabled them to rise from the ashes as a people that are more stronger, undefeatable and much more vibrant then ever before. Although the loss of those who perished in the 9/11 attacks shall always remain a tragedy that will leave it imprints on the soul of New York and its residents for all time to come, the loss of the World Twin Towers which changed the very landscape of the city has further strengthened the will of its citizens instead of weakening it in any way. The proud Statue of Liberty still beckons the world to a free country which continues the fight for a more free world where oppression and tyranny would end. The saying that disasters and tragedies bring out the best out of human beings has been confirmed beyond an iota of doubt by the valiant efforts of the Fire Department of New York, the Police Department of New York and the support that the citizens of the city provided to save lives, provide shelter and protection to the injured and affected in and around the disaster struck area and in the process often sacrificing their lives to save their citys brethren as if they were their own. The repeated telecasting of the dreadful attacks of the planes hitting the Twin Towers seemed to draw the people closer to help the stricken in any way they could instead of frightening them off from the stricken area.

The characters of the New York Cities Fire and Police Departments personnel has been immortalized and earned the respect of not only the New Yorkers, but of the whole world as a group of the most gallant people that any city in the world would love to have as its citizens. The quotation from your former, Rudy Giuliani from one of the speeches he delivered after the 9/11 attacks in which he said, “Freedom from fear is a basic human right. We need to reassert our right to live free from fear with greater confidence and determination than ever before … here in New York City … across America … and around the world.
With one clear voice, unanimously, we need to say that we will not give in to terrorism ” reflects not only a view point but a proven one of almost every New Yorker. Five years on and New York City has rebounded back with renewed energy and vigor to rebuild its community and it has come together as an even more vibrant place to live in with morally and mentally strengthened characters of its residents. New York continues in one voice to condemn the international terrorism going around in other parts of the world such as in London, Madrid, Bali, Mumbai and other such places where it has learned from its experience and has demonstrated to the world that it will not let terrorists disrupt the peace of your city and that the human spirit will always prevail and triumph over evil. New Yorks once destroyed areas around the Twin Towers now have high-rise towers that seem to have magically risen up as the city moves forward, however, with security concerns and more alertness for safety precautions. Your communities have pulled together with more support and understanding for each other and your religious and community leaders are leading from the front and your citizens have begun to make new beginnings to turn tragedies in to positive changes with special support to the surviving victims and specifically those who have lost their close and dear ones in the 9/11 tragedy. My heartfelt tribute to the city of New York and its citizens therefore can never be a personalized one but once again, I repeat, a tribute from all the peace loving populace of the world who shared the grief and pain of New Yorkers during the moments when it was dealt the cruelest of blows by the terrorists.
