We're always here for each other, in good times and bad. I'll never forget our excitement on the Live Thread when President Bush landed on the Abraham Lincoln. The flight suit...that was such an exciting day, and now we're grieving together.

Thank you!

[Damocles]

Does MSNBC have an online feed for this?

[Wolfstar]

Look at the crowds along the route...

That's what I wanted — no, needed — to hear. I was so afraid the crowds would be thin.

Everyone get ready......the band will play Hail to the Chief......and Ruffles and Flourishes....when he arrives.

watching the press event yesterday..announcing the details of the funeral, Iw as very impressed with the lady who was the family spokesman...she had one comment "I was so pelased that my kids could get to meet him"...she did a superb job..do we know who/what she is?

I recommend that everyone ignore the disruptors, hit abuse in silence, and not profane this thread with the understandable - but inappropriate - anger in their replies.

Good thinking. I'm in!

If you are referring to me, I apologize for my profanity...but I won't apologize for my sentiment.

Let us not also forget the live thread for January 20, 2001 when so many of us could not go to DC to celebrate.

I hope to go this January for the celebrations.

Yes I'm interested to see how that looks before heading over there myself. I'll have to take young children with me. If I was able to go alone, I'd probably be there by now.

[cyncooper]

I meant weaknesses

The "historian" was going on about President Reagan's "weaknesses"

How I came up with "witnesses" is anybody's guess.

[Howlin]

Thanks for the information. I understand now.

[PleaseNoMore]

Do you know of another live feed? I can't get any sound from the one on MSNBC.

[Inspectorette]

Amidst my tears, I'm listening to Rush, and he just played the clip of James Baker anecdote about "Tutu? So-So!"

So I'm laughing and crying at the same time.

Does MSNBC have an online feed for this?

I'm not sure. I have a pcTV card. Someone said CBSnews.com is streaming it.

Local Fox (11) is saying parking lots at Moorpark College are filling quickly. People will pass through a security check before being loaded on to buses.

If they have a pipe band playing "Amazing Grace" in DC during the procession on Wednesday night, that is when I will lose it.

I will always remember the day we bombed Baghdad....Shock and Awe...baby!
