Remember this day, guys. This is a day like no other. I'm really sad, but I'm glad I got to share it with you. This is hard, so hard. 
This music was playing in my head during approach and landing:

Congrats from me too to all here at NSF who regularly give of themselves (Chris, Chris, Ron and others) throughout all of the Shuttle missions we have had the privilege of watching together.
Congrats go to all of the NASA personnel at KSC, JSC, and the other stations!
Congrats also to the PAO's who tell us what is happening.
Great program.... can't wait for the next one to start!
I hope that the coverage at the ISS improves now that it's the only game in town except for satellite launches and an occasional Soyuz.
I think that Rob Navias started to choke on his "a moment to be savored" speech.

Fergy - "Mission complete Houston. After serving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle has found its place in history, and it's come to a final stop."
Butch - "We copy your wheels stop and we'll take this opportunity to congratulate you Atlantis, as well as the thousands of passionate individuals across this great space faring nation, who truly empower this incredible spacecraft which for three decades have inspired millions around the globe. Job well done America."
Fergy - "Hey thanks Butch. Great words, great words. You know the Space Shuttle's changed the way we view the world and it's changed the way we view our universe. There's a lot of emotion today, but one thing's indisputable - America's not gonna stop exploring. Thank you Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Endeavour, and our ship Atlantis. Thank you for protecting us and bringing this program to such a fitting end. God bless all of you, God bless the United States of America."
Butch - "Inspiring words comments, Atlantis. We'll meet you on 5-3."

Outstanding program. Strange to realize that the only manned space program I have ever known has come to an end. I'll never forget watching my first shuttle launch on TV, and now I'll never forget watching the last landing.
But damn....welcome to day 1 of the gap.

Could see her coming in from West to East and caught the sonic boom (and my dogs freaking out) on my camera. Welcome Home Atlantis! Job well done!

The twin sonic booms were particularly loud and distinctive here in Orlando. I opened up my windows, and the pressure wave moved my drapes! Awesome and sad.
