President Ford had a difficult job to perform for our country three memorable times: as a member of the Warren Commission who attempted to determine the exact felon and causes of JFK's assassination, he succeeded to the office of President after Nixon's resignation (pardoned him later to much chagrin by some) and was the President in office when the bloodiest war in our history ...Vietnam finally ended.
He was such a good sport I guarantee he is laughing over the Carvey bit.
So, the 21 guns are in honor and tribute to you , Mr. President. With the hopes that the future inhabitant of the Oval Office is as steadfast and staunch a leader as you.
