Somthing that struck me all week long, but in particular tonight as the President's motorcade drove from Pt. Migu to Simi Valley.

In the Navy we have a tradition (and I'm sure the other services have something similar) .... When a Commanding Officer retires, his entire crew "mans the rail" as he's leaving the ship for the last time. All week long, I witnessed as the ENTIRE NATION "Manned the Rail" for this great man.

God Speed, President Reagan. (HAND SALUTE)

Been losing it for days, but when Nancy didn't want to leave the casket I really lost it.

Blubbered for the rest of the service.

Perhaps...just perhaps....in His infinite wisdom, is it possible that he waited for such troubled times as these (post 9-11, daily terrorism scares, US standing somewhat alone against a new "evil empire") that he timed this event to remind us all of our bright future in His hands through the faith and determination of Reagan? There is a reason for everything!

Thought I had seen enough & would pass on last ceremony, then the eulogies started & I was hooked and tearing up. Was sobbing along with Mrs. Reagan at the casket.

Makes me want to be a better person and good Christian just so one day I can be in the place that I know he is in now, in God's embrace.

When Nancy put her head down on the coffin I was crying, I turned to say how sad that was to my wife she was crying.
And are children seemed to understand.

Oh, me too - sniffles before then but lost it when she looked up at her children with that lost look - camera shutters exploded then too.

That is the pic we will be seeing.

I did
My momma cat sat in my lap and wondered why.
How do you explain to a cat that a Great American had gone Home?

When George H. W. told the story about cleaning up the water in the hospital so the nurse wouldn't get in trouble after he was shot. Yowza.

I had managed to keep together for most of the servie this evening. (I excude this morning's crying and the days before.) When they played Taps, I lost it for the remaining service.

Usually I don't cry when public figures die. But I cried when Pat Tillman died, I cried yesterday and today when Nancy leaned on the casket, and I've cried for our heroes dying in Iraq.

I think I started crying when I saw the pieces of the Berlin Wall on the library grounds and when the motorcade ascended the final hill.

Been crying all day here. I absolutely ache for Nancy and Michael. His talk was straight from the heart.

I lost it today during Margaret Thatcher's video'd speech during the service at the National Cathedral.

I've been amazed by the crowds everywhere.

If you only listened to the Press you'd think no one remembered President Reagan. They'll never "get it"

Four times I cried these last seven days. None worse than today.

I had a feeling she would cry as soon as they handed her the flag. It was going to be the final goodbye....tissue time.
