The Military District of Washington and all of the units that participated did an OUTSTANDING job. I am so proud of each and every one of them. A special thanks goes out to the many musical units. The hours and hours of music provided at the Burial ceremony, the beautiful music at the National Cathedral (Mansions of the Lord did me in), the military bands, the USAF Singing Sergeants and other vocal groups - it was all performed to perfection by those remarkably talented men and women of our armed forces. God Bless them all. I hope a few Presidential Unit Citations are awarded.
They'll be well deserved.
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!
