The webfeed captures are coming out much better than my TV captures, suddenly. I wonder if I need a new connection.

or as Peter Jennings so fondly calls it: "America The Beautiful". He really did.They must not have had that question on the citizenship exam that Petah took.

LOL........you and that casket! Those high-end hardwoods are beautiful! Hand-carved handles, with carved inlays. A smooth, brushed finish with no defects whatsoever.
It's a shame to have to put them in the ground!

The image that will be above the casket as it lays in state in the Rotunda. The Apotheosis of Washington by Constantino Brumidi 1865 Fresco.
![](http://www.aoc.gov/cc/art/rotunda/apotheosis/images/apotheosis.jpg)
Detail Brumidi depicted George Washington rising to the heavens in glory, flanked by female figures representing Liberty and Victory/Fame. A rainbow arches at his feet, and thirteen maidens symbolizing the original states flank the three central figures. (The word "apotheosis" in the title means literally the raising of a person to the rank of a god, or the glorification of a person as an ideal; George Washington was honored as a national icon in the nineteenth century.

That's a rather complex story. There are permanent honor guards and volunteer honor guards that aren't part of the one in DC that most people see. Not every military base has either. Most likely the best personnel out of permanent honor guards are selected.

Nancy looks worn. It would not surprise me if the old gal doesn't last long after this. She sure has been a class act. Man oh man I am hating to see Ronnie go. Tomorrow and Friday will be sad days.

To: TX Bluebonnet
really?, we were just discussing it at work, I remember the Nixon funeral. I also realize his tenure was a bit tarnished etc..I also realize that people really connected with Regan more. So does the presidents family have the most say so in what kind of procession takes place? Di Nixon lie in state at the capitol as well?

No aerial coverage -- that's too bad. It'd be neat to see the route lined with signs and people.

I just don't think the media know how much we respect and love President Reagan!!!
To: Toidylop
I saw my mother widowed twice in my life, when my father died, and then when my stepfather died.
I can't look at Mrs Reagan without remembering her.
