I saw that. Ran pretty good, didn't he.

Now, "Take my Hand, Precious Lord.

Wish Mahalia Jackson was alive to sing that one.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

I do too. Can you believe the 101 is completely stopped in the opposite direction, people parking their cars and standing by the median to wave goodbye to President Reagan.

Army Sergeant singing "Precious Lord"

cars stopped on the other side of the freeway..3 lanes deep for miles..people out of their cars saluting..amzing site

[NonValueAdded]

How many is 25 miles of people???

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

One of my favorite hymns...so comforting.

[VOA]

The cars in the opposite lanes are stopped and some are getting out of their cars to see the procession.

CONSERVATIVE LOOKEY-LOOS BLOCK TRAFFIC
...tomorrow's headline in The Los Angeles Times

[skeeter]

That got me, for some reason.

[arasina]

The marine who is singing it is doing a fine job. Much better looking than Mahalia Jackson, too. :o)

[jmstein7]

All the people are CHEERING for him as he goes by!!!

[Petronski]

That is SO COOL!

The traffic in the opposite direction is really just a parking lot. Just to pay Reagan some respect.



Can't you just see that sparkle in his eye all over again?

[txradioguy]

"There just are more young adults born in the past 25 years to parents with conservative values."

The Wall Street Journal calls it the "Roe Effect".

[samiam1972]

That dear boy singing right now is fantastic. Tears for his beautiful voice!

[sonrise57]

I think he would have been gratified. One of the things President Reagan did was to restore dignity and honor to the instituion of the presidency. As such he was great for ritual and pagentry as an ingredient to bring about the necessary corrections to the national perseption of the office.

[the Deejay]

Hey! I know that generation & how they've voted all their lives sooo well. Ya have to hit them over the head. It only sounds a bit rough. lol

[TomB]

Sarge has some SERIOUS pipes on him.

What a beautiful rendition.

[don-o]

I can LOL at that. But she owns that song!

[Humidston]

Thanks, Mo1! I'm here...

[A Citizen Reporter]

"its controlled chaos from a traffic perspective."

No, it's not. It's a beautiful tribute, to a man who gave us everything.
