Thanks, Norm. I am sure you will find the first still photos available of what we are watching now...

The motorcade is coming across the Memorial Bridge now (runs between Arlington and the Lincoln Memorial).

Hi maria... Yes! Now that you have refreshed my memory, I do remember that. He was a one woman man and she was his life.

It sure is rough today competing for space between these two men known so well around the world, Hussein and Ford; about the only thing they had in common is, considering the way they lived and led, is that both died a natural death.

I think your dad was a wise man.

Many of our children got a better upbringing with better results than many of our generation did.

It will be interesting to watch what kind of research is developed to see what was different in the 50's and 60's that yielded our screwed up age mates...

I can't help but wish my Dad could have had this moment at the WWII Memorial before his was laid to rest.

I stopped watching but from what I saw Chris made sure their commentary was dignified!

As for CNN and MSNBC....nothing needs to be said.
