Absolutely beautiful. Thanks.
Please allow me this side note.......
It was the President's second Inaugural Parade, and he requested that his favorite choir be there. It was cold, bitterly cold, and the reviewing stand was enclosed, mostly by glass, and heated. Sounds of the parade were piped in. It was a beautiful procession, considering the weather, and, in time, the choir arrived.
On a large flatbed float, covered with chairs seating men and women covered by heavy coats, scarves and gloves. You could see their breath, as it swirled in the air. The float stopped immediately in front of the reviewing stand, and the choir turned to the President. They slowly began a cappella, about war and peace, about liberty, and the birth and works of Jesus Christ. They increased the volume and tempo. It was most clearly heard, as if there were no wind or cold or street noise nearby.
A solitary camera panned in for a close-up of the President listening. Tears started to well in Ronald Wilson Reagan's eyes, as selected members of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performed a beautiful rendition of a song he did cherish, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"...........
