Ten minutes to write. Less time to read.

It was on Memorial Day nine years ago that I wrote my first blog. I reread it recently and still think the idea of visiting the graves of soldiers on this day is a good one.  Today, however, we didn’t make it because of rain.

I guess you could call us wimps, since I’m sure many soldiers crouched in foxholes as they were drenched by rain.  I’m sure others took their last breath in a downpour. And I’d bet that families laid their spouses, sons, and daughters to rest in gentle showers and raging storms.

So, to feel less wimpy, I’m saluting Willie Mc Cord one more time.
