Op-ed from National Review:
From the tiny District of Columbia, with its even tinier percentage of
conservatives and neoconservatives, it is my high privilege to nominate as
the Conservative Capital of the World the small town of Somerset, Pa. The
rolling hills near Somerset became the final resting place of the heroic
passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight #93 on September 11, 2001.
They also hosted the "miracle at the mine" during the night of July 27-28,
2002, when nine miners trapped in cold water 241 feet underground were by an
amazing feat of conservative discipline, competence, professionalism, and
unyielding faith, brought up into new life from virtually certain death.
It is well understood that UA #93 brought a new birth of patriotism, a new
love for the land of the brave.
