On Friday, March 11, 2016 my unit, Ben Morrell Battalion, and I arrived at Nancy Reagan’s funeral at around 0700 to honor the guests attending. We were stationed around the front entrance waiting for the guests to arrive. When the guests arrived, we snapped to attention and stood there until they had passed. I did not know who most of the guests were that passed us, but we did have the honor to greet Newt Gingrich and his wife, Larry King, and Tom Selleck. We alternated from at ease to attention for about two hours for the guests. When all of the guests had arrived, we witnessed the motorcade carrying the First Lady, former first ladies, and our former President.

This caused the people of The united States to believe he was lazy and cared little for the lives of American citizens. Knowing that the people resented Hoover…

    May 1, 1894

    My birthday is May 1, 1994, so back a hundred years ago on that date it was when Coxey’s army marched into Washington to deliver a speech to the people. However, the police were there and restrained him from doing so. There were crowds of people waiting to see the army but police forces gathered around in order to guarantee nothing drastic happens. Coxey’s seventeen year old daughter, dressed as an angel of peace, on a beautiful white horse led the army that everyone wanted to see . They were not permitted to pass the White House, they took an alternate route to make it into the city. When they reached the senate Coxey and his right hand man split, dividing their forces. As they are marching into the capitol they were being followed by brass band instruments with white flags attached to them representing the motto “ Peace on earth and goodwill towards men; but death to interest on bonds.” After reaching the top of the stairs, a policeman told Coxey that he could not make his speech and escorted him out. Coxey did show any physical restraint. As the the policemen were taking him away 10,000 people followed, some happy and cheering, and some just jostled the procession. They put Coxey in a carriage, as he was being driven away, tried to make his speech but his voice wouldnt allow him due to the noise coming from the crowd.…
