I CAN’T SEEM TO FIND the full text of Tom Ridge’s Flight 93 speech yesterday, but to my surprise what I heard on TV was quite good. Here is a soundbite:

Your loved ones did not expect to serve the cause of freedom on that Tuesday morning, but serve it they did. Faced with the most frightening circumstances one could possibly imagine, they met the challenge like citizen soldiers, like Americans.

Not as good as Dave Barry’s column, but not bad.
