Did your teen miss the Historic Presidential Moment? It isn't too late.
1st Historic Teachable Moment in 12 years
These moments don’t happen often, thank goodness. Think back to 2006. That’s the last presidential funeral we’ve had in the United States until now. (Reagan, 2004 and Nixon, 1994).
Do you remember when they would wheel in those carts with tv’s on them during school so we could see the moon landings, the rocket launches, and other historic moments? We do.
But perhaps your teen’s school didn’t or doesn't do this. It isn't too late to capture the teachable moment for your teen.
Did you know that . . .
nearly every detail planned for a Presidential funeral is historical?
- Who had the first 16 cannon salute? President George Washington
- The first president to die in office? President Harrison, 1841

Presidential funeral traditions and customs
Did your teen see the funeral?
What an opportunity we have to teach our teens (and younger) about serving our country and explaining the cherished traditions we hold for this office. Any presidential funeral honors someone who served our country at the highest level.
Don’t miss this chance to teach them. You can, of course, go to YouTube and find many video clips to watch with your child. But in case you are time challenged, you can start with this link from CBS:
