-Part 13 (of 13)-

U.S. President Richard Nixon's funeral service from April 1994 (complete).

In this segment, a military officer presents Nixon's daughters, Tricia Nixon Cox and Julie Nixon Eisenhower, with American flags from their father's coffin. Their families and Nixon's brother Ed stand with them at the graveside.

Reporters Ted Koppel, Barbara Walters, and Jim Wooten periodically comment on the ceremonies and on Nixon throughout the funeral. Historian Stephen Ambrose joins them on occasion. The five then living presidents and first ladies (Gerald and Betty Ford, Jimmy and Roselynn Carter, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, George and Barbara Bush, and Bill and Hillary Clinton), as well as President Nixon's family members (his daughters Julie Nixon Eisenhower and Tricia Nixon Cox and his sons-in-law and grandchildren), can be seen frequently during the ceremonies.

    I have to say it was bad taste for the cameras to linger on Ed Nixon as he was crying(1:59). I won't blame Koppel or ABC because C-span was providing a pool feed but it really wasn't necessary.
