They did sing the Battle Hymn of the Republic and the end of the service on Friday.

During that song, it was the first time in 21 years of marriage that I saw my husband cry.

I have heard the Battle Hymn of the Republic sung to this effect twice in my life: Robert Kennedy's funeral and yesterday. Still, that song was not the only time I got all teary-eyed on Friday. We do still have people of genuine greatness in this country... and they are beginning to shine like the gold that they are, gleaming all the more when contrasted with the cheap and dull imitations we have had foisted upon us for so long.
