Hastert's words are powerful and touching at the same time. So true

Speaker Hastert: "In the summer of 1974... we needed a healer, we needed a rock, we needed honesty and candor and courage. We needed Gerald Ford."

a very long day for her and the days ahead. Small little woman, but huge in strength. Somehow we do what we must do.

Hastert can speak. His speech moved me to tears at Reagan's funeral.

Again, a super speech tonite...wonder if he actually writes his himself?

William Broomfield collapsed.

I went to check out who he is on Wikipedia and it already lists that he collapsed at the Ford Service.

Me too...especially when he quoted Lincoln at Gettysburg, saying of the tribute to RWR, "It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this."
