Governor seeks moment of silence Friday to honor Reagan

The moment of silence at 10:30 a.m. CDT would coincide with the funeral for Reagan at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., which Bredesen plans to attend.

Reagan, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, died Saturday at age 93 of complications from pneumonia.

“Ronald Reagan stood very tall as president and he cast a very long shadow on the American and world landscapes,” Bredesen said. “He will be remembered as the ‘Great Communicator’ and revered for his love of this country and of democracy.”
