Same happened here. I am downright pissed because of it. I'm issuing a call to any Freeper that taped the ceremony (preferably from beginning to end) to PLEASE send me an email.

Off topic: Did/will Jane Wyman attend any of the services? I know that she visited him not long ago. She is very conservative.

I saw her on MSNBC's coverage. What a dignified lady she is, and am so glad she could make it in person to say good bye to her good friend. Brian Mulroney also.

President Reagan chats with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during State Arrival Ceremonies in this Feb. 26, 1981, file photo at the White House. Ronald Reagan (news - web sites), the cheerful crusader who devoted his presidency to winning the Cold War, trying to scale back government and making people believe it was ``morning again in America,'' died Saturday, June 5, 2004, after a long twilight struggle with Alzheimer's disease (news - web sites). He was 93. (AP Photo/File)

That was a truly remarkable scene!

I was thinking that tonight when all those guys were coming up to the casket. Ed Meese!

MSNBC was good about that.......except, of course, for snotty Andrea Mitchell. She made some remark about "back when the allies trusted us."

I'm fifty-three and on days like this I feel 80.

Me too fella, everything was great with the Gipper at the helm.

The next time someone asks your age, just tell them that you are old enough to remember when MTV played music videos.

"word is that she can no longer speak"

Its OK...her words and actions are still influencing our world. This woman had more...guts, than most men I know. The Union Jack still flies in the Falklands and the Soviets are in the scrapheap of history.

Maggie will live forever.

Compare her class and dignity with Kerry's crass oportunism and Clintonian selfishness.

There are giants and then there are very, very small people.
