This probably is in bad taste, but it's really funny.

Twice a brother, as a DEKE and a Mason!
Requiescat in Pace, Amicus et Frater, nunc et ad aeternum.
In war, in life, in times of crisis you always answered the nation's call.
Well done Mr. President. Farewell.

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.

While President Ford seemed to be a clutch, he was an outstanding athlete at UM.
The turmoil that he was thrown into was unbeleiveable. 
The Warren Commision is still out to some historians for actual facts.
Pardoning Nixon while not popular, the Country had to move on and did.
The Viet Nam War was not popular and needed to be wrapped up and gotten out of.
While He was a one term non elected President, He will go down for more than what actually was shown.
He did a job that needed to be done and did it!
Smile Gerald, You did good!

What I hope he will be most remembered for, despite the Nixon pardon, is healing many of the rifts in our country in the post Watergate era.

Good man. Too neutral, but still very good.
