Well-wishers line the road as the hearse carrying Ronald Reagan's casket passes by as it travels through Thousand Oaks, Calif., to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., for interment ceremonies, Friday, June 11, 2004.
Marine Sgt. Ethan Rocke, 26, from San Diego, cries as taps is played during interment ceremonies for former President Ronald Reagan
Ya gotta see the pics at #3122. I'm all teared up again.
You won't see scenes of spontaneous oupourings of emotion and gratitude like this when James E. Carter or William J. Clintoon pass on to the other side.
Tank you so much for the pictures!!
Was so hoping to close-ups of the citizens of Califormia, but there was close-up on C-SPAN. Having raised three boy scouts and have one tiger cub who just graduated to bob-cat, I have a specialplace in my heart for the scouts
My first thought was the cry was a little unbecoming a Marine. But they're only human. And for all I know he was watching Mrs. Reagan. Bless his heart.
That Marine breaking down is something.
You have some amazing photos!
Great Pics!
THank you so much for the pictures. The one of the Marine crying has got me going again. *sigh* TO crack that facade is a real tribute to our beloved president.
