"Sorry, flaglady. This is a solemn and historic occasion; are you watching the proceedings as well?"
Yes, indeed I am. I think it is a wonderful tribute to Gerald Ford and his family. I think the speakers have all been heartfelt, and that the service itself is lovely. A parting final salute to a man who served his country well. And I didn't agree with some of his opinions, as well as the current Presidents, but at the time of their funerals, it is when one honors them for their great service to their country. Methinks it isn't the easiest job in the world being President. And the singing of the Lord's Prayer is lovely, I met add.
I love the Book of Common Prayer, which is being followed here.
