LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)
"Fly away, fly away to Jesus...."
I was jsut about to ask if anyone else had seen the Clintoons looking like they were bored and about to fall asleep. That's the first thing my wife told me about when I came in the door a few minutes ago.
If anyone wondered if these two were classless before....
What BS. Have they ever heard of Grenada?
The Reagan Doctrine: The United States has an obligation to its citizens and to people around the world to never let those who would destroy freedome dictate the future course of human life on this planet. (from RR's 1980 acceptance speech at the GOP Convention).
I taped on C-span and didn't hear any calls being taken.
I think Bill and FFFING are making happy hour plans with Teddy
Oh my.
Is that true?
If so, I do see the irony in spades.
I was gone a while; did Kerry really laugh? What at? When? I didn't think he was there. Good grief, that side of the aisle is getting worse by the minute.
Farewell and God speed...
Heavenly Father we ask that you place ministering spirits on and around that plane to insure its' safety, protection and traveling mercies through and above the clouds under the sunshine of your love!.
Air Force One=Old Air Force One. Crowd applauding again.
Thank you for taping the days events. I will not be able to watch the buriel, so if at all possible, please tape it. Thanks again.
Calm down.
The lyrics were written by Randall Wallace, the director and screenwriter for "We Were Soldiers" (he was also the screenwriter for "Braveheart" and "Pearl Harbor"). The music was written as part of the soundtrack for WWS by Nick Glennie-Smith.
It's wonderful to hear it on the WWS soundtrack, but I must say, if you want the full impact, rent WWS (warning: it's a graphic war movie along the lines of "Saving Private Ryan" - not for the young). As one not normally given to crying at movies, the scene where Mel Gibson's character returns home from Viet Nam got me going, and "Mansions of the Lord" over the end titles REALLY moved me.
A beautiful, majestic tribute to the fallen soldier who now lives in the presence of the Lord God Almighty.
That is the most beautiful song I've heard in a long time! I heard it for the first time last fall at my friend's father's funeral.
IIRC, umbrellas are not part of the uniform. He's probably genuinely out-of-practice.
To: All
By the way I apologize..in my haste before I said Goldberg.. obviously I meant Shaw.
I especially apologize to Bernard Goldberg. :-)
Rest well sir.....time for us to carry on your legacy!
Apparently Drudge grabbed my screen capture of the Clintoons snoozing too.
Godspeed, Mr. President.
