Ah... I assume they're not really shooting any projectile? (unless they're aimed at the ocean?) They are using projectiles, aimed at Massachusetts.

I assume they're not really shooting any projectile...No projectiles. All powder - nice bang, though.

"Remains" is your body once the soul is gone--not how you died It implies that they had to 'piece together' that body, or that not all of it is there.

Obviously you haven't been listening to CNN. Because they tell us every hour that because of the way 'Nixon left this town, the family decided to have his funeral at his library.' They are very desperate to make that point.
To: Toidylop
I'm fine right now, but I know I'mm going to lose it when the riderless horse rides down Penn. Ave. (I get mushy even with that part of the movie Taps.)
I gotta hand it to FNC. They were quiet during the arrival ceremony. I might go back to CSPAM when the procession begins.
