WASHINGTON — Gerald R. Ford leaves his beloved U.S. Capitol for the last time Tuesday as the period set aside for ordinary Americans to say goodbye gives way to an elaborate invitation-only funeral at the awe-inspiring Washington National Cathedral.
As the first order of business Tuesday, Ford's remains were being removed from the Rotunda to lie in repose briefly outside the Senate before leaving the Capitol where Ford served as a congressman for 25 years. As vice president, Ford also had the constitutional title of president of the Senate.

It occurs to me, watching these wonderful young men and women of our military, that it will be hard to have a CIC who hasn't worn the uniform in some manner.
Alas, I think those days are ending.

I swear, Fox cannot get anything right. They just labelled this as a 21-aircraft flyover.

"Missing Man" flyover and "Taps" really do me in. I'm a mess right now.
