We arrived at 12th and Constitution at 2PM set up Freeper camp and then took shifts watching the kids in the Smithsonian. The crowd slowly grew until it was 10-15 people deep all along the procession route. All in attendance were polite, somber and super patriotic. Enjoy the photos.

As promised, this is from my brother, f zero. He and I, along with our parents, children (5), (3 ½) and (3) and f zero’s wife attended and were awed by the spectacle and admiration of the entire crowd. Long wait, but all were appropriately deferential and polite, as befitting the occasion.

sharing these nice clear pictures! Terrific job

Uh, absolutely cannot -- repeat cannot -- take a single iota of credit. F zero took all of these pictures and, in teaching me how to post pictures, I ended up signing in and voila, we posted under my screen name. I only WISH I had gotten that talent, friends.

Anyway, they are great pictures. I'll end up developing my own sometime around Christmas.

Thanks, bro.

Great photos! I was extremely fortunate to witness the cortege today then proceed down Constitution Avenue to the U.S. Capitol and pay my respects in person. Fighter jets roared overhead while we were passing the National Gallery of Art. That many jets flying directly overhead was an incredible sight and sound experience.

Once we made it onto the U.S. Capitol grounds, we walked outside the building up on the portico overlooking the city west toward the Washington Monument. I've never done that at night and it was a beautiful sight.
I can't remember being in the Rotunda at night, either. It is beautifully lit. Everyone of course is focused on the casket and processing so many thoughts and emotions, but I hope they also remember to look up.

Thank you, Mr. President. I'm forever grateful.
