"That's (boots reversed in stirrups)been a thing since at least JFK. The Riderless Horse."

Ya but how many in the younger generations have ever seen it?

For me, it was especially poignant because of the image Reagan projected of a bygone era.

Our young sons asked why the boots where that way and why someone wasn't wearing them. It was a powerful teachable moment about who we are as a nation and the historical meaning of that tradition and one of many final impressionable moments during that funeral. His burial at almost sunset left my eyes drowning for the very first president I ever voted for.

Donald J. Trump, feared by the globalist progressives, will receive a LIFETIME ACQUITTAL in the Senate. And the leftists, like the prophets of Baal, will cry and cut themselves with stones. Gotta love it. pic.twitter.com/m1KFeOXvKY— Kevin Shipp (@Kevin_Shipp) January 24, 2020
