I like the fact that Ron and Nancy chose to have bands. THey have been playing some hymns as well...it's more of a celebration of RWR's life also today...his death was expected and not sudden like Kennedy, not a tragic thing.
This event was planned long, long ago. This is like Ronnie saying goodbye to US also...??

From the articles I read he was chosen for his spirit. every time some one walks into his barn he sticks his head out of the stall throwing it in circles looking for a pat of attention.

It is so great to see all the military bands and people- that is so fitting for a president that loved the military.

Wasn't it something like "Black Jack" ? (I know thw was Jackie's father's nickname but I wanna say that was it.) I was a very young girl and so I was impacted by the visuals very much, some of the facts didn't register as vividly.

I wish I were there... Me too. Me too. You paint a good picture with prose. This is a solemn occasion. But the country, and its freedon outlast its leaders. God Bless America. Prayers for the Reagan family.

Major Garrett was a writer for the Weekly standard before he went to CNN. I've always liked him, and was so glad when hswitched to Fox.
