The Passing of The Greatest Generation

The best thing on TV today has been the honoring of George H.W. Bush. As I did when Reagan died, I've been glued to the set this evening, especially watching the lying in state in the Rotunda -- the Trumbull paintings; the changing of the Honor Guard; the silence, solemnity, and respect of the dignitaries and the public alike; the beautiful photography -- it's simply been awe-inspiring and makes you even prouder to be American.
