The President's plane is arriving at Andrews Air Force Base at this moment.
A woman caller is talking about President Ford seeming like a father figure to her. Lovely.
Y'all need to join my family .. the only arguments we had we over politics and yet at that, they were a hoot
My favor was hearing my Democrat Aunts & mother rip into my one brother for voting for Carter *L*
Same here. I turned down the sound on one caller.
Another respectful, heartfelt caller getting cut short by the lib c-span lady.
The Scouts are at the WWII Memorial...
I have been thinking about that quite a bit lately TexS..the adults are dying and we don't seem to have anyone to step up or into their shoes. I worry.
Amen.
Mine are all dead now.
Good history lesson for them.
At least Wallace on FNC is offering no idle gossip, that is demeaning to the occasion.
His advisors and cabinet certainly rose to elevated positions thereafter. His honorary pallbearers:
Ford's casket was met by honorary pallbearers, who included Vice President Richard Cheney, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and James Baker and former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft. All served in Ford's administration.

ABC is covering it.
Isn't the WW II Memorial beautifully lit!
What Really makes me nervous,is that I'm young enough to possibly be forced to witness this Spectacular show of Respect that this Nation gives to its Leaders,When the Axis of Carter/Clinton/Kennedy Go.
Antidote: think Carter.
Thanks for posting a great pic...I'd not seen it before.
YES! I love the night.
Not here in the Philly area
Only the Cable Stations are covering the funeral
Now, I see some of the crowds waiting at the Capitol for the arrival of President Ford's body. I see a Dad with son on his shoulders. Many folks are trying to teach their kids right still.
Mine are dead also...
And I have talked with my children and warned them that I would come back and haunt them any of them get in any fights before, during, or after mine.
For one thing...I have no money to leave....so that should take care of 99% of the problem...LOL
