Let's not be a coward. Maybe we can lure 'em out into the public.
Thanks for the pics...it's good to know all will be ready.
Every detail of the state funeral procession is planned with military precision, down to the minute, by the Army Military District of Washington. They do a remarkable job and they make it look easy.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

Do you think they should keep it secret and the rest of us GUESS when things will be happening?
What an assisine statement.
I was screaming at the TV; they ALL have plans......except, of course, Bill Clinton.
Is it any wonder the children in this country are so dumb?
And ignore the noise from the cheap seats.
BTTT
Thanks for that schedule; I couldn't remember when the actual service started.

You're on your way to Washington right now. I hope you find a good vantage point, get some good pictures, and post them for us to see.
I'd rather you guess than our enemies know.
What on earth compelling reason is there for you to know what will be moving where on a minute by minute basis. Not in general, mind you, but down to the minute.
Face it, your problem is with me, not with what I said.
Thanks for the non specific attack.
It was a QUESTION not a statement. So now, You can answer now that you have made it your business to lend you goofy comment.
It was an analogy, you know what that is? Try thinking before posting,,,just once,,OK?
And he has been Mrs. Reagan's escort for the ceremonies today in California.

Set for Tivo. I'll probably burn it onto a DVD.
Seargent York was one of if not the highest decorated soldier from WW1. When asked how him and and a handful of men captured over 130 something German soldiers he simply replied, "We surrounded them."
