Hey, they're playing "God Save the Queen" as they carry R Reagan's coffin to the hearse at Andrews

It's "My country 'tis of thee/Sweet land of liberty/Of thee I sing" in America. Same tune.

Hey, they're playing "God Save the Queen" as they carry R Reagan's coffin to the hearse at Andrews. I guess in honour of the close relationship with Maggie Thatcher and Great Britain/Britain/United Kingdom or whatever it's called.

I guess Nadine answered your question.

I just got back from there and the F-15 flyby went right overhead. Pretty awesome!!

But I tell you what.. there are a few Metro (subway) managers I would like to fire right now.. Just incredible incompetence in dealing with the flow of people leaving the city after the procession.. Took me almost 1 1/2 hours to make what should have been a simple 20 minute metro ride.

Time to take a cool shower.. It was mighty hot and humid out there..
