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

[Born Conservative]

I think the music is awesome whats the name of this song? Something about being lost at sea?

The Navy Hymn aka Eternal Father Strong to Save

[AppyPappy]

Clinton probably stopped to pick up an attractive hitchhiker

[longtermmemmory]

Seems a president thing.

Does not strike me as offensive. If anything a relief. We lost a president, they lost a father.

[Lacey]

Why do they carry him down the side of the stair where the guards are not standing?

Anybody know? Mr Lacey wondering the same thing.

[CasearianDaoist]

I hope he can get through without creacking up. Whqt time will he speak?

[NautiNurse]

Major Jackman has been nothing less than the perfect escort throughout

Absolutely

[mtbopfuyn]

I was wondering about the kids too. Were they in the car? Surely, Nancy wouldn't be alone.

[proud American in Canada]

"Nancy looks so lost and lonely"

She looks so delicate, so sad. I cried when I watched her touch his casket on the Rotunda. She must miss him desperately.

The Reagan children will speak at the burial in California tonight.

[lunarbicep]

I am curious why Reagan's children have not had more of a role in this proceeding. Any reason why they are not with their mother or are they are and I am not seeing them?


I understand they are to each speak later today at the California services

[TomGuy]

[Not A Snowbird]

I'm so glad to be here with you all so we can 'hold hands' through this.

Amen. I love the sound of the rain.

[alisasny]

The rain is just way to symbolic. I am in NY and not a drop. Any rain anywhere else on East Coast now?

[Bubbette]

The honorary pallbears chosen by the Reagans. Merv Griffin, Mike Deaver, the President's doctor and several others I don't remember now.

[StarCMC]

All 3 are speaking tonight in CA

[Maigrey]

FNC hasa the backgrouund mic going, and listening to the lack of noise is incredible. I hear the rain, and the wind, and not much else, (well, when the mic is scrubed)

The only way I've learned about all this is through reading it all.

[maica]

He is the General in charge of the Honor Guard division? regiment? sorry, i don't know the correct word.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Nah. Sausage McGriddle with a side of hashbrowns.

[big'ol_freeper]

Raining in NE Maryland...has been all morning.

[ken5050]

As Commander-in- chief..is it always an Army officer because the Army is the Senior service?
