May 27, 2010 Memorial Day.... W.J.Routson, Jr. With Memorial Day fast approaching, I was in the process of putting some thoughts to pen regarding just what Memorial Day means. Coincidently I visited my sister-in-law's (Judy Routson) blog site. I read her May 26th entry and realized I could not convey my thoughts nearly so well. Take a moment to visit her site at http://judyroutson.wordpress.com/  Bravo Judy......thanks for reminding us of just what this day means.
