I was okay until the missing man formation flew over...

then the tears started. So so sad but at least they died doing what they loved!

My tears started with the hymns.

I thought it was nice how the audience applauded as the families of the astronuats were leaving. A show of support to them.

I cried throughout the whole ceremony, but the tears really flowed when I saw the children's faces.........I gave my little one and extra hug and kiss before her naptime today

The flyover is what got to me too, although I didn't realize it was the mssing man formation. I also was very moved by the applause for the families as they left the service.

It was heartrending, the missing man formation is so touching.

I couldn't watch or attend -- had the opportunity, but just couldn't do it. Memorials make me more upset than they do comfort me. I don't need to be more upset.

It was the childrens faces that got me....
I lost my dad when I was 15, and I feel so bad for them.

When he rang the bell seven times, that's when I got teary-eyed. When the flyover came right after, then I grabbed the tissue. And, I had to watch it twice! Once at home and, then the repeat on CLTV at my Mom's.

The tears started for me when I saw the kid's faces.

I thought the moment where Geroge W gave the son of the commander his handkerchief was touching. I too had trouble seeing the faces of those children!
