LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)

[longtermmemmory]

GWBush would be well advised to stop dueling optomism commercials and go for

Determined, Resolute, and Certainty Commercials his frenchness can't fith that.


RADIO JUST SAID: Charlton Heston is there!


This service is HEROIC testament to Reagans deeds.

[RummyChick]

Michael Regan losing it. Wife trying to comfort him.

[xp38]

We are all witnessing an historic moment today.

[Born Conservative]

I don't know the name of it, but that music was in the Mel Gibson film "We Were Soldier's"

[carton253]

I was thinking the same thing...

[mombonn]

Michael and his wife standing with their hands over their hearts.

[Not A Snowbird]

Very haunting music.

When did the Presidents sneak out?

[NELSON111]

Just saw little tommy daschle over in the corner where he belongs.

[Kozak]

Yup. This may be Reagans last service to his country. Gently remind any friends who are on the fence this November of how GW has many of the same goals and strengths that Reagan did. It may move their hearts on the day.

[Spirited]

What I am praying strongly from here out is for favor. Extreme, Godly favor for him with all who hear.

[radiohead]

Does anybody know what music they are playing now (during the exit)?

[cookcounty]

" I didn't tape the service.....does anyone know if I can get a copy of this entire service....I missed Lady Thatcher...."

I didn't tape it for my wife! Anyone know if it will be repeated on PBS or something? I have no cable.

[PigRigger]

"they had the moral fiber, principles and courage to meet the challenge they were presented. They have succeeded where most would have failed. The specific circumstances are by in large irrelevant...."

Very well stated; the character of man is just as important as his beliefs.

Ohh Man, the music now is just unbelievably beautiful. I will never forget this moment. Lord this is beautiful.

[Mo1]

I understand your point .. I also understand why it was done

What music are they playing ... my mind is drawling a blank

It's beautiful

[Chad Fairbanks]

Exactly - and if honoring and remembering Reagan includes comments by people who are pointing out the obvious differences between him, and others, then I think that is just great.

[tet68]

Lost it for a bit, what a big piece is missing from my heart.

[nfldgirl]

The music has been so fitting today, and fitting of the ceremony.

Does anyone recognize the music being played? (Before the "Sweet Hour of Prayer" that's playing now) It's so beautiful!

[Terriergal]

mansions of the Lord

Beautiful!!!!

[SoDak]

I believe I've heard this music in the movie Henry V, at the end, but I could be wrong.
