WOW!
All white is Navy....dark jacket, white pants are Coast Guard...dark blue is USAF...tan shirt,black pants with red stripe and dark jacket and white pants are Marines....black coat and blue pants are Army....they all have several different uniforms and it is sometimes hard to tell...I look at their covers to be sure.
I missed GW & Laura as I had to help my mother. (The only thing that would have pulled me away) How was their visit?

This picture is from earlier today as he was arriving at the DNC headquarters in Washington.
My daughter is in the Navy. In fact she was with the VS-41 squadron when President Reagan made his trip to the USS Lincoln. She went to work that morning and there was AF One parked next to their hangar. A sister squadron flew the President to the Lincoln.
Blue Angels are coming to OKC shortly to perform. Last time I saw The Thunderbirds they landed and pulled up to the Tarmac to the song by Lee Greenwood of Proud to be an American -- that brings tears to my eyes everytime.
Love aircraft -- been around it most of my adult life -- special breed of folks fly fighter jets -- also some of my favorite people.
It was a short visit, just like Gorbachev's or Walesa's. He and Laura prayed for a few moments, Dubya touched the casket with both of his hands, and they left. Go to the 2nd or 3rd page of this thread, and there are pictures.
Well .. after Daschle's smarmy comment (which is a big lie) about the democrats "allowing" the repubs to make the decisions about the speakers for the funeral .. Daschle will find out he's just as irrelevant.
I really appreciate the comments and photos. I couldn't catch all of this, and your comments and pics gave e a feeling of what is going on. Thanks!
Daschle's sense of decency is just as small as the rest of him. =-p
Your a dear & I thank you. Did they clear out the rotunda or did they come in with everyone else?
ROFLOL!!!!!!! Good thing I had just put my Coke down or it would have been on my computer -- that was really good!

Or I might be wrong, LOL. From another thread:
"After the speeches, Mr Cheney escorted Mrs Reagan to the coffin to take her leave. She ran her hand along the top, smoothing down the Stars and Stripes several times and murmuring a prayer or farewell to her husband as she struggled to retain her composure."
There was a thunderstorm watch earlier, but thankfully the storms passed D.C. by.
I did today also on Rush's show today, but Rush, IMO was being gracious to Russert for Russert having him on his CNBC show.
But I don't think that Rush was selling a book on Russert's CNBC show either.
Missed GW and Laura paying their respects, though I did see the great news conference today.
No, they didn't clear the rotunda. They did stop the flow of people, though, so that the Bushes could have an entryway.
I know, but it was done with such love and affection, your version is just as correct.
"crying workshops"
You must be kidding .. but somehow I don't think you are. Boy .. that is something .. "crying workshops" .. that is just amazing .. they have to learn how to cry ..??
