Reagan Funeral

[@TrueHighlander_Scotland]

My Commander in Chief for 8 years! I will see you again in our Lord's Kingdom where we will be brothers.

[@Ogisito]

I watch this over and over again with my eyes welling up. It reminds me a of a lost America. A much respected country under a leader who made Americans proud of their country, of themselves as a force of good, and proud of a man who is not ashamed to proclaim his belief in the Everlasting. May God bless you, President Reagan, for all the goodness and pride that you left this God`s country.

[@johnoconnor4623]

+Ogisito I will add this from the ceremonies that I know and hear "may the Angels come to greet you and lead you to Paradise. May the Lord enfold you in his arms and give you Eternal Life". My wish for you.

[@johnoconnor4623]

You surely can say now "a lost America". Now it has a "leader" who is of simple mind, who has no notion that a world outside of his exists. He tweets a lot and many times ends his messages with "SAD"'. He is right there, because America now is sad. It had enemies before but he has now made many more.

[@wackymackyboy]

Reagan was a racist pig.

@@VenerableBede2510 , what will happen when that day arrives and I'm still hiding behind my "racist" accusations?

What a magnificent voice this gentleman has. Wonderful rendition of Amazing Grace. Wonderful tribute to a great man.

[@TheLocalLt]

It’s Irish Tenor Ronan Tynan

[@johnfoconnor]

A great tribute to Ronald Reagan. A great rendition of a good hymn by an Irish tenor accompanied by a powerful band. One of my abiding memories here will be just the grace and elegance of Nancy and her family. There is some beauty beyond compare in her poise and dignity in what had to be her saddest moment. And now also we shall remember and pray for you too Nancy. God bless you and Ronald, great people, great Americans.

[@sandyharlow5367]

How perfectly beautiful!! Such a lovely song sung by Dr Ronan Tynan is a blessing for President Reagan's family. I once read that President Reagan requested that Ronan sing at his funeral. And, sing, he did!! This is lovely!!

[@jimwhittington6907]

I agree with you, Sandy Harlow!! This is really great!! Dr Tynan is a wonderful singer and did a beautiful job here. President Reagan did request this song from Dr Tynan.

[@johnoconnor4623]

And it is one of the best, most powerful renditions of Amazing Grace that we will ever hear. Thank God that Ronald requested and Irish Tenor to sing at his funeral and thanks to the person that has posted and shared this on youtube.

[@johnoconnor4623]

+SANDY HARLOW Just listened again now, so powerful a voice. Just brilliant and might come back again to listen. Oh, he sang "God Bless America" in Washington this year at July 4th, on PBS.

[@HelenSSpencer77]

This was sung at my son's memorial, by one of his friends. Hearing Ronan singing it brings back sadness, but this amazing man sings with so much feeling and talent...I also feel joy. Ronan is no doubt one of the best, anywhere, anytime.

[@jim543212]

I stayed home to watch the funeral on TV. This made me cry. God Bless Ronald Reagan and thank God for Ronan Tynan's voice.

[@kseustis]

One of the greatest presidents in U.S. history. Plain and simple.

Beautiful, what a wonderful tribute to a great man. Ronald Reagan the world thanks you for your outstanding service. God Bless you!

One of the best Presidents of the United States of America (a bastion of the free world !!!)

[@Jeff7971]

Thank you for adding this, Ronan is not only an amazing singer, but he's truly a wonderful human being; his life long committment to perserverence and over coming the obstacles called life is an inspiration to all that he has touched.

[@marzipan112]

he came and spoke at my university today and ended by singing God Bless America. it was amazing!

[@maxrawnsley1401]

Ronald Reagan gave us all hope that encouragement was the way not rules and regulation. Wish he was here now

[@AIKsupporter]

Rest in peace our great man Ronald Reagan

[@clusterguard]

Rest in Peace, Mr. President. We loved you in Europe.

Ronan is an amazing person and an amazing voice.Mr.Reagan: no words can describe what a great man he was.One of the very few politicians that made you proud to be an American

[@maryplaidy6814]

He made a lifelong Republican out of me from the age of 12. I'm now nearly 65.

[@PokerSchnitzel]

Salute to Mr. Reagan! God Bless him! Let him rest in Peace! He was one of the greatest leader of this great country!

[@Liffster]

Ronan Tynan is unappreciated, that's for sure! He was so terrified that day but it was at the request of Nancy and he was magnificent.

[@sgonzalez275]

Like thousands of American heros that have died for our country, in wars, etc; I'm honestly will give up my life in return for God's gift of another Ronald Reagan for our great nation. Reagan was the best that ever be and with tears in my eyes, I can truthly say : " where ever you are Mr president, GOD BLESS YOU SIR " and America needs you more that ever !

[@hucklberrydoc]

God bless him, and what he stood for...that every voice should be heard.

Dr. Tynan is truly one of the great Tenors of our time.

So proud to be a American.May God Bless Ronald Reagan forever.

[@MAC10Cobray]

The saddest day Mr. President was the day you left office in this great Country. You will always have my admiration and respect. You not only will be missed, but you will be admired by many for years to come.

[@raymondshutt1289]

I am disturbed by the animosity of so many of these posts. Ronald Reagan was President during my High School Years. I am a progressive, yet I voted for him. Have you all forgotten what a frightening and disorienting time the late 70's and early 80's were? I love Jimmy Carter as an Ex President-in fact, I believe he is the model of what a former President should be, but, while in office, he didn't provide strong leadership for a country still reeling from the stain of Richard Nixon. I voted for Reagan, my first vote, and yes, I was terribly young. But whatever you thought of him, you never questioned where he stood on an issue. As years passed, and I witnessed an angry, hateful element take hold of the Republican Party, my views changed. I may have come in later life to strongly disagree with Reagan's domestic policies, but I never doubted the honesty of his beliefs. We always knew what he stood for. Unfortunately, in this bitter age, the age of Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, were Ronald Reagan still living, he would not survive a Republican Primary fight. The Republican Party of Eisenhower, of Rockefeller, of Goldwater who basically told Nixon to stick it is long gone. And that's a sad thing for this country. And don't think for a second that I am any easier on the Democrats. I am disgusted with both parties. Because they lack the courage of their convictions, and it is more important to make a political point than do something for the common good. Shame on all of us.

[@docinohio]

well written...good insight and assessment....how sad and woeful is our country, politics, society now compared to then!

[@johnoconnor4623]

A good considered post by you Raymond. I am not American, do not live in USA, but love it all the same. If we lose America we lose the defender of modern democracy, modern civilisation. There is much wrong with America, but in a country, a continent of more than 300 million people, it is not too bad. Yes it needs to put control in some "out of control" policemen that do no justice to themselves when they should be even handed in applying laws to all. Worse is the lack of visibility into Grand Juries who appear to have made decisions favouring the establishment, without any visibility into their decision-making. Forty or more years after Martin Luther King's assassination all appears not to have improved much for some downtrodden who might be on the margins of society.

[@raymondshutt1289]

Thank you so much, John. "Let us tame the savageness of Man. And make gentle the life of this world." My very best regards. R.

[@johnoconnor4623]

Raymond Shutt Could not say it better than your quote and will repeat your last line "and make gentle the life of this world". Great words and let us hope that more could live by those words, in my favourite country the USA. The best thing is there will be an election for you in a year's time when you can choose some "pre ordainded" person again, one of two chosen ones. Where goes America, with a stagnant congress and senate a powerless president? Into the next election and the American people have seen it and will be good judges again late next year.

[@raymondshutt1289]

John O'Connor Again, thank you, John. I wish we had more thoughtful and well informed people like you in our electorate, both left and right.

The Reagan library is great. It was a very moving experience for me personally. I've been to 7 presidential libraries and Reagan's, like his presidency, far exceeds all of them. Enjoy your visit, it far exceeded my expectations. I was too young to vote for Reagan in '84, just missed the deadline by a few months. I wish I was able to say I voted for him.

Ronan Tynan. Well-known in the States as one of the "Irish Tenors" and frequently opened Yankee Stadium. This is probably the best rendition of Amazing Grace ever captured on video.

[@HBninjar]

Reagan was a great president. I was in grammar school when he was in office, and I didn't realize at the time how lucky we were to have such a bold, and charismatic leader of the Free World.

He is sorely missed. Sorely.

[@manbigus]

America is strong. And, has always been strong and will continue to be strong. We have had great leaders. President Carter was even great. God Bless America always.

[@johnfoconnor]

And I will agree with you BobCrane... Can never understand how anyone can make a judgement so easily and respond to someone with words such as "that stupid" and "fools that idolize". Those words are pure blockers of speech and discussion. They are the opposite of what President Reagan stood for. I can never remember a bad word from him, all I can ever remember was how proud he was to be American and how he put America on top of his agenda.

[@bigjohn697791]

amazing voice

[@RJY4356]

You should hear him do " Faith of Our Fathers," "Be Still My Soul" or "On Eagle's Wings" on his CD..... amazing, especially with the awesome orchestra behind him in such a sweeping, dramatic rendition. It will blow you away.

[@MrKeeper1992]

May god bless, Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy and all the other US-Presidents. May god bless the United States of America!

i saw this live and it made my cry

[@johnfoconnor]

Very true, and the sad bit of it is that we dont stand up for ourselves. We are so shite weak that we pay for everything and then let the benificiaries put us in fear of being sued. Ah, one day the world will turn and come right. Heh, bannerman, love your channel, one of the best on youtube.
