Yes ma'am. :)

in addition to saving it here.
Duh, she says, slapping herself on forehead. I think I'll go do that now, too.
A magnificent job was done by the Military District of Washington!
The Democrats obscene behavior in Florida, circa 2000, had their lawyers nit picking every military ballot, to toss out ballots for the most trivial things while they sued to have the weak impressions on punchcard ballots that showed not even a 'hanging chad' counted if they were for Goreghoul. THAT crap had better not be repeated this time around. It was obvious Gore failed to steal the election via the Florida counts and recounts. The democrats had better leave their usual criminal ballot box stuffing and criminal counts and votes from long dead democrats out of this election or Hillary won't have a party to run over in 2008.
I have a feeling that the same will be spoken of President Bush in decades to come in Iraq. We can pray the same occurs in Iran and Syria in the not so distant future. THEN the war on terrorist Islamism will be on the way to being won!
Oh WOW .. Thank you for this ping
God Bless Our Military
The last piece played at National Funeral was the main theme from Mel Gibson's movie, We Were Soldiers."
AWESOME!
As that song was playing I was completely captured by the work, and as it was fading and the audio/video was transferring to outside the cathedral I thought how it sounded like an outstanding movie score. How fitting that it was the closing credits in the movie and funeral as well.
West Point cadets sing hymn for Gibson film - Great stories here: http://www.usma.edu/publicaffairs/directorscorner/PKJMelGibsonJan02.htm

You can hear it online here (at bottom) http://web.infinito.it/utenti/i/interface/Mansions.html
This song was sung by the West Point Glee Club at the end of the movie "We Were Soldiers"
"The Mansions of the Lord"
To fallen soldiers let us sing
where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
to the mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
just divine embrace, eternal light
in the mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
All through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord
Words by Randall Wallace
I also meant to note that C-SPAN stuck with their shot of people paying their respects to the casket until midnight. At the end you saw the military from the honor guard and the band / orchestra approach in twos and threes and render a salute, sometimes slowly as did the honor guard leader at each changing of the guard. America's finest!
Wow, I didn't know that Major General Jackman, who accompanied the family, also planned the events. Amazing job he did...Thanks for a great link!
