Yes, you're right,they did ridicule her too. I really hadn't thought about all this for years, but it's coming back. And it isn't pleasant.

As we say here, never get between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera.

Mine is a VET too... and a graduate of the Naval Academy, but he won't tell me what he wants, so I'm thinking he knows I'm going first. :)

the one thing I see, and it truly amazes me every time, is the "stonewall" faces of the military..they approach it as a true honor be be there escorting the body and do so with a professionalism that is beyond words..God Bless Them..and God Bless Gerald Ford..

Chris Wallace has had a hard time tonight...he keeps wanting the camera to show something they aren't.

I'd say Nancy .. because Reagan was in office longer then Ford

But I still remember hearing some news clips on TV and how they treated Betty

Amen. I am as moved by the military honor guard as I am by the fact that President Ford has passed on and this is his casket. My respect for our military deepens every day.

yes, my husband was saying that back at Reagan's funeral and now this one. Their precision and professionalism is beautiful.
