It will be a special moment for me when I get to watch the USS Ronald Reagan pull into it's homeport of San Diego next month. I kinda have a feeling the bay will be a little crowded that day.

Had a teacher who was on an Army honor guard. They had a funeral for a federal judge and were awarded medals for it. But before anyone thinks they have it easy, one mistake during a ceremony as a bare minimum gets the soldier an article 15, or possibly a court martial. This is serious work.

The motorcade carrying Reagan's body just passed my office. I stood and watched it go by ... on Wilshire

Oh......my! That is wonderful.

Alisa, a lot of things went on back then that were incomprehensible now. Try to understand that we're all sorry for things we did back then.

And I got caught in this morning's motorcade as well.

Ronald Reagan and his first wife, Jane Wyman, had two children, daughter Maureen and an adopted son, Michael. Patti and Ron followed with second wife Nancy Davis Reagan. Born in 1941, at the height of Reagan's popularity as an actor, Maureen was part of the picture-perfect family that, in the 1930s and '40s, Warner Brothers promoted as Hollywood's wholesome face. Michael was adopted later, in 1946. At a time when joint custody was virtually unknown, the children remained with their mother after Reagan and Wyman divorced in 1949.

I will be unable to make a personal visit to pay respects at this time however you can bet I will go to the Reagan Library and to see the USS Reagan in San Diego as soon as I possibly can.

Also my dear friend Peter died in the USS Iowa explosion in 89 and I will go visit that ship as well.

I cant believe I will actually go to California but for Reagan and Peter it will be a trip worth taking.

Usually FOX covers events most extensively, but sometimes they just don't know when to shut up!

Yes and their irritating banner over live video is irritating too. But, heck, they are showing a moving vehicle on the freeway, so they are in hog heaven. lol

I'm sure that once you became a reality to your parents, you were loved just as much if not more than had you been planned for different reasons.

My dear departed mother was 39 when she became pregnant with me - my oldest brother was 18, and headed off to World War II. She was definitely not pleased about the pregnancy, but I turned out to be her only daughter, and she and my Dad spoiled me and loved me till they died, so much that my brothers were envious of the attention I got.
