My Country Tis of Thee, now

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

This is quite simply heartwrenching.

I've lost it now too.
Oh my God, we were so blessed
to have him.

[Wolfstar]

Thanks, Onyx. My work PC doesn't have video capabilities.

[Mo1]

They are now playing My Country Tis of Thee

I'm never gonna make it thru this ... need another box of tissues

Regans will be the biggest since Kennedy and maybe even bigger.

Johnson was loved by big government Democrats but the Viet Nam years eliminated him from being beloved.

Nixon was loved by Rhino republicans but Watergate kept him from being beloved.

Regan had huge support on both sides. Many of the Regan Democrats are now counted on the conservative side.
Regan was beloved. His loss will be felt by many.

Not a dry eye in this house. The Reagan family chose this music.

President Regan's son, Ron looks so dignified.

Oh Nancy, my heart is breaking for you...:~(

Copious tears.

God Bless you, President Reagan.

[Mo1]

Thank you Tom for the pictures

[MamaB]

It is on cable, too.

[rbmillerjr]

Now, I've got wet eyes...and I just don't cry.

I'm praying and thanking God for what he did for our country.

[Serb5150]

....and what makes it worse is I have absolutely NO privacy in this place.

[cyncooper]

Fox broadcast channel showing it, too.

I notice the media that are there, including cameramen, are wearing suits or at least a shirt and tie.

[Howlin]

Don't worry about it.
