Too many posts to read through. Does anyone know who the man was singing Amazing Grace? He was awesome. Beautiful voice.

I just completed my belated review of this thread. Wow! After last week, I didn't think I could shed another tear.

Having been on business travel, I have unfortunately missed much of the live coverage of President Reagan's memorials in the media, and all of the coverage on FR. I did, however, get to see most of Friday's burial service in Simi Valley.

What a week of joyful remembrance of Ronald Reagan, of what he stood for -- and also of sadness, awe, and gratitude! The eulogies were extraordinary, destined for the archives of history.

The reverence and practiced precision of the military throughout the week made me very proud of them and of our nation. And the roster of those who came to pay their final respects speaks volumes about Ron Reagan's magnificent spirit.

The comportment and generosity of the Reagan family in letting us share in the remembrance of Ron Reagan during their time of grief -- that especially clear when dear Nancy had to be led away from Ronnie's casket for the last time on Friday evening -- was incredible while at times heart-wrenching.

I want to thank my fellow Freepers for your usual -- but this time, perhaps a bit more profound -- thoughtful, passionate, and insightful commentary. And thanks also to those who posted the many remarkable images of the memorial services.

God bless the USA, Ron Reagan, the forces of good, and Freepers!
