I was up in Sparta yesterday at about 3 o'clock and saw the jets flying over in groups of 4 or 5, that was pretty awesome. I live out in Robinson Twp and was going to take 131 to the Gerald R. Ford freeway and take that to Lake Michigan drive to get home. The planes reminded me though that it would probably be a mess in that area. Reading and hearing the reports I'm glad I didn't.

I don't think it's overkill. He was a very good man and deserves all the pomp and circumstances.

I live in Ada Township.

I was supposed to be riding a horse yesterday afternoon during the funeral. My friend called to let me know that she saw the jets streaking through sun that was setting over Grand Rapids.

She said it was quite a sight.

[Mr. Brightside]

And I have no problem with the pomp and circumstance of the funeral and the ceremonies.

It is the reaction of some people that I find 'overkill.'
