Does anybody know if a DVD of the whole memorial for President Reagan...
Thanks!
I ordered the DVD from the C-Span store on June 11 and have yet to receive it. C-span was probably overwhelmed with orders. It cost $26.95 which included 7 for shipping.
I got this email from The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. I hope it is helpful to you.
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Foundation June 2004
Dear Friend,
Over the last two weeks, we have received an incredible outpouring from American citizens, young and old alike, expressing their sympathies to Mrs. Reagan and offering condolences to all of us at the Library. We are deeply grateful for your concern, for your kindness, and for your willingness to grieve with us as we mourn the loss of our beloved 40th President, Ronald Wilson Reagan.
I would like to take this opportunity to respond to the thousands of requests for a DVD, Video, Book or CD produced from the ceremonies beginning on June 5th, 2004 through June 11th, 2004. There is an enormous demand for this type of product and we are actively working to produce it in cooperation with Merv Griffin Productions. Unfortunately, a number of other products have already appeared on the market, which are unlicensed by the Reagan Library Foundation. In fact, one CD actually claims to be giving benefits to the Foundation, yet we have never spoken nor heard from the producer of this CD. Please be aware that all our officially licensed products will be featured on our website, www.reaganlibrary.com and in our catalog. We ask you to be cautious as you purchase items from other sources who claim to donate funds to the Reagan Library. And, we remind you that by purchasing from the website, www.reaganlibrary.com, you can be sure that you are supporting officially licensed merchandisers of Reagan products.
Again, for a list of the corporations who are official licensees of our products, please visit our website, www.reaganlibrary.com. These are entities who have graciously worked with us to develop their products and offer royalties to the Library for the rights to use the Reagan name. As such, we offer our support and encourage our members to patronize their organizations.
Within the next couple of weeks, we hope to have a CD of the music from the ceremonies available for purchase on the website. We will send an e-mail notification to you, to alert you to its availability. In the meantime, we have two memorial tribute photographic pieces on the website which are available for purchase by clicking on Library site and then Museum Store.
Each day, it is our goal to update our website with the most current information. On June 16th, we included a photo montage of over 90 photographs by former White House Photographer Pete Souza who served as the official photographer for Mrs. Reagan. We invite you to review these moving images at www.reaganlibrary.com, just click on “View Images from President Ronald Reagan’s Funeral.” Also, the text of the speeches delivered by Michael Reagan, Patti Davis, and Ronald Prescott Reagan are available for your review, by clicking on Funeral Services. Their names will appear on the next page.
Thank you for your sympathy, your patience, and your support. May we continue to be blessed with your friendship as we work to preserve the legacy of President Ronald Reagan.
Warm regards,
R. Duke Blackwood
Executive Director

I ordered one on June 12 and haven't received mine either. I emailed CSPAN to find out what the order status was and haven't received a reply.

if that doesn't load it might be under my "cookie", so if it doesn't, go to http://www.audible.com and then go to the left side for "free" programs and you can find it...
Ok, thanks. I sure miss Ronald Reagan. I believe now more than ever we need to take up the mantle he left and press on with the fight. Let's turn the left to the right!
Thanks
Mark
