Cities, towns, and villages this day are emptied of its citizens come to bid a loving farewell to one of their own. May he go w/God and have everlasting life.

Governor Schwarzeneggar appeared positively clenched with emotion.

California can be proud today. (for once)

I wonder if they had to pay royalties to Simon & Garfunkle for that rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water. (Was that melody dip some kind of glitch or just a technique?)

I just switched to the C-Span split screen. This is causing a total breakdown. Motorcade on one side. Military band on the other.

Here is a link to the song. Get the best speakers in the house connected to your computer, listen, and read the tributes to all our fallen soldiers, then order the cd for your kids. Make them do the words in cross-stitch as they listen, so they know that their freedom needs to be re-won, if they want to keep it for their kids.

I just got home. Looks like they're running right on schedule.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"When I shed tears during the service, they not only were for the Reagans but also for my Dad, my deceased Mother,"

You are not alone. I spoke to my sister earlier, and she told me that she has been unable to watch. She watched 5 minutes of the service, and broke down in sobs. She said she will watch, but she it just too emotional to watch as it is happenning.

It would probably work with a children's choir, or even women, but it doesn't work with all those baritones.

Reagan was his hero.
