That mahogany casket alone weighs 700 lbs.!

[cajungirl]

now start the accusations that this was made to last so long so GWBush could deliver the eulogy.

I think they squeezed it just right. They included a repose, lying in state, a march down DC streets.

If this was another earlier president it would be weeks if not months.

I am a Lutheran and that is one of my very favoirtes, just like Softly and Tenderly is as well.

[pettifogger]

A real testament to the Reagans to allow us all to see this. Remember how Princess Diana (I know, I know) was buried in a REALLY private ceremony. While a part of me wants this for the president, another part is so thankful that Nancy let us share these very final moments.

I even liked A+Bert.

Arnold and Maria standikng there with their hands over the hearts as the flag goes by.

[WarEagle]

All the honor guard men look nice, but I especially like the looks of the Marines - their uniform is just wonderful.

[lainie]

Amen. Many people just didn't realize how inspirational he is.

[cyncooper]

Just look at that glorious view.

I guess the guard will be called into service again when they move President Reagan from this dais to his eternal resting spot.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

we must be on some sort of time delay on the east coast or on the link I am using. You posted that about 15 seconds before it showed up on my stream. What gives??

[jsullin007]

Well, as a USMA grad, don't you think that your motto: "Duty, Honor, Country" fit Ronald Reagan perfectly?

[hole_n_one]

[Bahbah]

A million times that, cajungirl.

Online streams are usually a good 15secs-2mins behind real time. There is a lot of lag time in encoding and server distribution.

[glock rocks]

You da man. Again.

[theophilusscribe]

What a view!
