Look at bob’s link, there the whole video. That’s where he quoted the time.
The coverage Bob linked ends with the Supreme Court Justices, and the person I saw paid her respects after that during the live coverage I was watching on a local news channel. I do not see the woman anywhere in the crowd. It really doesn't matter any way. I just noticed her because she was visibly grief-stricken, and that touched me. I teared up as she lingered to look one last time at the casket. I'm sure she was one of many people in attendance who were struggling to contain their emotions. A lot of them have worked together for a very long time and through many administrations, and it would be expected that some were very torn up today, even if only because they were channeling the Bush family's pain. It's the start of a very sad week for country.

Actually this is a much better funeral celebration of life. There is no expectation that GH Bush is going to push the lid of his coffin three days after burial and ascend to the havens.
I see Trump has his acolytes well trained in trying to make any/every event about Trump and NO one else.
For me there is a pall over all of it, not so loving looking at it from the dog's point of view.
One day surrounded by loving family, the next day whisked away and plopped down in a strange place surrounded by strangers.
Sully is more than a trained pile of meat to be donated once he is no longer needed like a wheelchair or a hospital bed. He is a being with feelings that no one seems to be taking into consideration.
At the very least someone who Sully knows and loves should have gone with him to his new home to help him transition instead of dumping him off like a stray at a shelter.
At the very best, the Bushes should have kept Sully as a member of their family and donated a bunch of money to train a dozen or more new therapy dogs. Protocol be damned.

Sully is not being dumped. He is going to Walter Reed.
I know that. I said: DOG'S POINT OF VIEW. You need to read my post again.
Walter Reed might impress you but I doubt is impresses a dog who is accustomed to sleeping in his known home surrounded by people he loves one day and the next day finds himself in a strange place surrounded by strangers........just like a dog that is dumped.
"Gee, dad died, we don't want a dog, let's take it to the pound." Same thing, same emotions from the dog's point of view.....being abandoned by his family.

Sully was not a longtime member of the Bush family, I believe he's only been with them since the late Spring, following Mrs. Bush's death. He's a service dogged trained by a Veterans group to work with people for durations of varying length, and is being sent to Walter Reed to work with other Veterans. I suspect that's why the first picture of him posted laying next to President Bush's casket said "Mission Accomplished". His current role is fulfilled, he's off to help someone else.

Nothing warm and fuzzy about it.
No it isn't the same at all. What a distorted view?
Sully will be loved on by others and be happy as can be to be well fed, well loved and have his 'job' to do.
It's not the same thing as being put in a cell at a pound.
You are working hard to find something to complain about -- lol.
