I watched Ford's funeral last night. It was actually really neat. I almost wish I could have been there.

Im surprised the news didnt cover this as much as the Reagan Funeral.

How long are the flags suposed to be down?

I just noticed that other day that most flags are still at half mast, I thought a week was like the limit usually for that.

Yeah Ive seen the flags down for awhile now. They may have changed it so they're down for a month instead of a week.
