Reagan family has arrived in Santa Monica to escort President Reagan's body to his library.
Pictures, PLEASE, anyone that can. Office cubies are suffering !!! Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts!
Look at the crowds along the route
I'm seeing some!
If they are planning on 60k people to pay their respects over 30 hours, some folks are going to get turned away.
People seem to have stepped out onto the sidewalks just to see him pass by.
I was day dreaming earlier and for those of us under 40 raised by liberal parents Reagan is a Dad of sorts for guiding us to what is right in the 80's when all at home was not good.
For that I will forever be thankful.
And what a pleasure and so easy to raise conservative kids. I tell ya I am sure they will act up from time to time as they get older but they are not going to get away with any liberal garbage while under my roof.
In effect, I owe him my life. And believe me when I say, that this is NO EXAGERATION...................
Average Joe in a blue shirt, standing on a street corner, holding a crisp salute.
Yes, I am glad he is no longer suffering .. he is home with God and his dear daughter Maureen.
Though I know he is in a better place .. but heart still breaks
Cheney speaking on FNC...
Alert:
Fox showing split screen with Cheney speaking and motorcade.
I saw that -- but I couldn't type it. *Sniff*
Sheesh, I found out several years ago that I was conceived so my Dad could avoid the draft. How sick that made me.
Nancy looks wonderful! She must have joy mixed in with her sorrow--joy that her beloved husband is whole again and with God.
Did anyone else hear the crowd sing "God Bless America"? I only heard it when I was on MSNBC--the other stations must have not had their microphones in the right place.
CBS and NBC were miraculously showing it too!
I felt sadness too. Now for the first time, I am crying.
Don't say that.
VP Cheney on Fox now. Finally, a reason to turn off the Mute!
VP just was speaking with the Fords. Praises Betty and Nancy.
Ford and Reagan former rivals but later friends.
You came out just great, alisasny. You were meant to be.
The motorcade carrying Reagan's body just passed my office. I stood and watched it go by ... on Wilshire.
