Reagan family has arrived in Santa Monica to escort President Reagan's body to his library.
I was 5 years old...and my mother had me watch the funeral and to this day I actually remember my mother crying when John John saluted the coffin...I remember it as clear as it happened yesterday...I wasn't too sure about the actual event I was watching...just remembered that little boy triggered my mother's crying...
Literally all hours. You can go at 3 a.m. if you want.
Then we can come to the internet and snipe about you like high-school girls to our hearts content.
For Nancy
ON LOVE
~ By Thomas Kempis ~
Love is a mighty power,
a great and complete good.
Love alone lightens every burden, and makes rough places smooth.
It bears every hardship as though it were nothing, and renders
all bitterness sweet and acceptable.
Nothing is sweeter than love,
Nothing stronger,
Nothing higher,
Nothing wider,
Nothing more pleasant,
Nothing fuller or better in heaven or earth; for love is born of God.
Love flies, runs and leaps for joy.
It is free and unrestrained.
Love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds.
Love feels no burden, takes no account of toil,
attempts things beyond its strength.
Love sees nothing as impossible,
for it feels able to achieve all things.
It is strange and effective,
while those who lack love faint and fail.
Love is not fickle and sentimental,
nor is it intent on vanities.
Like a living flame and a burning torch,
it surges upward and surely surmounts every obstacle.
I had my five year old watching the ceremony...I hope he remembers.
Yes, he did say that. PJ is just a sick person.
That was our thought as well. Even the 3-yr-old can wave the flag -- our local Mem Day parade showed that!
I depend on Free Republic so much. Even though the stock exchange is closed on Friday I doubt I will be able to stay home from work so all this week I will be depending on Free Republic live threads.
What a bunch of BS!
My list gets longer and longer.
Sgt. York will be the rider less horse during the funeral procession.
Are you sure they aren't you standards?
These people are really sick and twisted. The ultimate in disrespect for a fallen President and America. What am I saying...this is their usual SOP.

Is that true?
Posted on this board a couple of days ago.
Yes, it does; 30 straight hours!
Well in jfk case that would have been a tough open casket
So do I, but Michael knows his father loved him, as does Nancy and that is what really counts
The first funeral I remember is Bobby Kennedy's.
Well, we don't have to worry about Amy, but I don't know about Chelsea. THere have been murmurings that she is interested in a political career :-(
I had never heard the Jefferson one... thank you for sharing that!
