You'd love it as much as I do. Prepare to be amazed and to leave your heart there.
I will never forget this.. what a beautiful sad, touching moment from the family at Ronald's side...
It is burned into my memory!! I love ya Mr. Reagan.
Yeah, I was misty now and then before. But now a full down pour.
Abide in me...point me to the sky....one of my favorite hymns.
I think camera makers need to make QUIETER motor drives or make some kind of sound dampening sleave.
Will all guests now pass?
I carry a Kleenex bouquet myself. Pluck a petal as needed. :o)
Agreed.
Thank you, President Reagan. You served us well.
It's the crown jewel of this great country.
"Doubt I'll ever see another state funeral such as this.
Whoever headed the planning and logistics deserves a medal."
Yep.
last part shouldn't have been on TV
I'm gonna go drink a toast.
To Ronnie, the man who brought America back from the brink.
Godspeed President Reagan.
Oh Captain! My Captain!
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up--for you the flag is flung--for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths--for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
-Walt Whitman
Ronald Reagan will rest until the resurrection in one of the most beautiful caskets ever made, the Marcellus Masterpiece.
That would be Nancy. Nancy deserves more than a medal, lol.
Perhaps that is required of a good MSNBC employee.
May the Lord soften his heart and the Holy Spirit become the Hound of Heaven to him.
My heart breaks for Michael and his children.
Is that Jane Wyman? The old, frail blind woman who had to be helped to the casket? Just wondering.
The "Gold Coast", from Ventura to SLO is beautiful.
