I considered this timing to be a slap in the face to all the veterans and terrorist victims in the United States during a time that is reserved to salute our veterans.

For nearly four hundred years now, Virginia governors have had different ways to make their presence known in Richmond. The early inaugurations were simple, but that has given way to more extravagance.

That's the way we do it now.
Library of Virginia researcher Brent Tarter is asked a barrage of questions every four years, inspiring him to find some new facts this time.
Like, this isn't how Virginia's always done it.
Before the end of the 19th century:
[sot tape 16:08:19 ]

The first inaugural speech was a whopper, at more than 45 minutes in length.
That was Governor William "Extra Billy" Smith's speech in 1864.
This is a rare early outdoor ceremony -- Frederick Holliday in 1878.
They didn't do parades like James Price's in 1934, until the 1890s.
The first ball was in 1886... a tradition begun by Fitzhugh Lee, but NOT done again until groovy 1970, when Linwood Holton became Virginia's first modern Republican governor.
The Library can't explain the significance of the V-8 cans.
The first broadcast on radio and amplified for the crowd was Harry Flood Byrd's in 1926.
In 1946, new Governor Colgate Darden actually drove his own car home to Norfolk.
Amidst all the pomp and circumstance, there have been such human moments, one observed wryly in 1982 by Chuck Robb.
