I was wondering if Ronald wanted music to be played during the procession...I think so. Reagan loved life and loved America. He'd not want an over amount of pious solemnity, I think.

The worst is Chris Matthews. No shocker there.

Seems to me we haven't seen a TV event like this since Diana's funeral... although this is different in tone....wondering if people overseas made comparisons, etc.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. Ronald Reagan

I have not been around much this past week- I take it that was the general request here on FR?
WOW look at the people on the rooftops and it is SO quiet. I think that's great.

He lives in a beautiful barn on the grounds of Ft. Meyer. It is air-conditioned in the summer heat. All of the horses are magnificent!

Well my "terrier girl" is very insistently asking to go out - putting her paws up on my shoulders and trying to kiss me. I guess I'd better comply.

Ronald and Nancy Reagan planned every single thing in this funeral, right down to picking the funeral home.
