"The first state funeral for a President since 1973." (I don't remember Johnson's funeral. 1973 was the year that the Vietnam War ended. Passions were still high about Vietnam then. Johnson was seen as the man that bogged us down in Vietnam.)

I saw the Congressmen inside but I didn't see Kerry's cameraman. Do they have a special place for him?

someone said to me a little while ago he thinks Kerry is now going to position himself as a Reagan style Democrat and that's what the pictures were all about! I think he may be frighteningly correct.

He has not the charm, the vision, the strength or the love of country.

Fox reporting, " thousands and thousands and thousands of mourners walking down the mall toward the Capitol."

What a wonderful tribute for a wonderful President!

I never realized that our military full dress uniforms were so...well, military. I have never seen such a display. I love it and hope the world is watching this tribute.

They showed it on Fox but singled out the lone jet...they should have focused on the remaining three...

It may be hot and humid, but at least it's dry in DC.

We've had six inches of rain here in DFW the last TWO DAYS. It's raining like hell right now, in fact. Flash flood warnings in nine counties.
