Who was the two-star general who escorted Mrs. Reagan? What is his normal role in the Navy?
I know the officer who presented the flag from the coffin to Mrs. Reagan is the Captain of the USS Ronald Reagan, but I missed his name.
Finally, where will the President be "buried"? Where exactly is the crypt? Somewhere near (or under) the pedestal where the coffin rested at the presidential library at the end of the ceremonies? Anyone know?

US Army Major General Galen Jackman.
Dutchgirl posted the following info:
'Washington-AP -- The officer at Nancy Reagan's side this week is Army Major General Galen Jackman.
As commander of the U-S Military District of Washington, Jackman's duties include overseeing ceremonies in the nation's capital with high-ranking personnel and visiting heads of state. He has offered his arm to Mrs. Reagan all week, accompanying her from California to the U-S Capitol Rotunda.'
