Changing of the Honor Guards is so 'perfect.' Those young men make us proud.

The guards are now moving into position around the Ronald Reagan's casket...

This is one of the few scenes I remember from LBJ's funeral.

Lynne Cheney is wearing the same pins as Nancy Reagan? Hmmmm - I wish I knew what they symbolized.

Would it kill a "minister" to pray in (or, to even mention) the name of the Lord Jesus Christ?

Not when there are Jews or other religions in attendance.

"God" or "Lord" works just fine.

Those pins looked kind of like "medals" of some sort to me...but really couldn't make them out.

No problems here. Which browser/OS do you use? Have you scanned for malware/adware/spyware recently?

I love the spotlight on the casket.

One last starring role...

Except for whatever one God's got him doing...

My eyebrows went up at that one too. President Reagan might have chosen who said the prayer- but he certainly didn't choose the words!
