LIVE THREAD--Reagan State Funeral Ceremony: Lying in State at the Rotunda (6/11/04)

Ken, you said, '...understand...and remember, my friend, and pity me..there are Episcopalians, and then there are EPISCOPALIANS...our schism is coming soon...'

Keep the faith, bro. There's info for faithful Episcopalians at

http://trad-anglican.faithweb.com/

Lingo they use, "Anglican" = God-fearing Episcopalians.

Check it out if you have not already done so.

Quix said, 'I suppose we could pray for a blinding flash of Holy Spirit such as has left certain Biblical characters speechless, incapable of speech?'

Amen.

Fawnn said, 'Listening to Lady Thatcher makes me almost mourn that we didn't have Free Republic during President Reagan's administration'

Ken5050 succinctly replied But Al Gore hadn't invented the Internet yet.

Precisely.

But it would have been difficult to download streaming video with a 300 baud modem on an 8088.

M55 ... read the question, "you can bet Bill Clinton is wondering how he will be remembered!!!"

And then M22 answered with another question, 'Who's Bill Clinton?'

LOL.

[mass55th]

Doing well. I recommend retirement to everyone ;-)

TennBob posted the picture of the marine saluting President Reagan's coffin at the Capitol rotunda, a brave young man who has lost his right hand.

I was thinking, that it must be a recent injury. If it were from awhile ago, he would have a prosthesis, no?

[EvaClement]

'104,684 paid their respects at the Capitol.'

thanks for this info.

Does anyone have a link to this beautiful song "Going Home" from the New World Symphony by Dvorak the way it was played at Andrews? All I can find is a Midi type song.

[StarFan]

I lost it when Lady Thatcher spoke, and again with Pres. Bush 41's and Pres. Bush 43's magnificent tributes. And that beautiful music..

I never, ever regained it. When the Irish Tenor began with Ava Maria, I knew a box of tissues wouldn't last the day. Not wanting to miss a beat, I stayed glued to the TV and never logged on. I was tempted to after hearing Ron's caustic comment and thought it might have been directed at GWB. After it was over, I was too exhausted from crying to log on. What a beautiful ceremony from start to finish. Will read the live thread to see what people's take was on bitter Ron. Perhaps I jumped to the wrong conclusion but I trust my instincts when my hair stands on end and all strands were erect.

[EvaClement]

LOL

that's about one quarter of one percent of current speed, rough estimate, or much less than that?

hmmmm ...

[Fawnn]

Fawnn said, "Listening to Lady Thatcher makes me almost mourn that we didn't have Free Republic during President Reagan's administration."

Paleo Conservative then said, "But it would have been difficult to download streaming video with a 300 baud modem on an 8088."

And the CompuServe fees would have bankrupted us all! ;)

[Romish_Papist]

Very smart man. :nods:

[Quix]

THANKS!

One never knows when such prayers of agreement may bear startling fruit!

[Ulysses]

Whats the protocol for a backyard 21 gun salute?

1. Make sure you use blanks?

2. If disregarding the first one, make sure you're not aiming at the neighbors' windows, automobiles, or pets?

If you've got kids who shoot, I imagine they'd get a kick out of being the one who calls the commands!

...RONNIE REAGAN's Funeral Service ended with the inspirational "WE WERE SOLDIERS" hymn titled "Mansions of the Lord' with Lyrics by Randall Wallace & Music by Composer Nick Glennie-Smith.

...The 'Final Departure' theme from this MEL GIBSON-Starred Motion Picture finished the Service =

...A true fit.

THE MANSIONS OF THE LORD
from the movie "We Were Soldiers"

To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord
