I watched the entire thing, paying close attention most of the time, save for some STVing and stuff (and being STV's Reporter for the Gerald Ford State Funeral, lol).

Note to everyone:

Coverage of the funeral for Former President Gerald Ford has begun on all networks; the President's casket is approaching the WWII Memorial.


I was actually there about an hour before the casket arrived - wish I could have stayed, but we couldn't. There was a *huge* crowd though.


Wow, that's cool! Too bad you couldn't've stayed. I did notice the size of the crowd, though. Amazing!


I wish I could have, but I just couldn't. I was very sad to read that not many important people showed up for the funeral...

President Ford is to be burried tomorrow in Grand Rapids, Michigan, having left Washington today.

*Salute*

Tom Brokaw did an excellent job at the service today. He always was my favorite television newsman. I thought his speech at the service was very thoughtful and stayed far enough away from current politics so that it was nice.

I watched a tiny bit on tv today, I dindt know it was on, really. Even then, CNN was covering the reaction to Saddams execution and such, so...

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I wish I could've seen it, but I was unfortunately at school.
