In Memorium   Richard "Dick" Rosche Frankie "June" Ruiz
Sadly, in the autumn of 2013, we lost two good reenacting friends who were instrumental in getting us started in this pastime and in giving our unit a home. Richard "Dick" Rosche got us started in reenacting through his generosity, guidance and support. Frank "June" Ruiz brought us into the Union Volunteers and gave us a place where our unit was welcomed and our impression embraced. Without you both, we simply would not exist. We are truly grateful for the gift of your friendship. Our colors now bear your initials as, in a very real sense, you are with us in all we do. Gentlemen, you will both be missed- but will never be forgotten. May God grant you a peaceful rest until that time when we are all called together again. We salute you both.
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo! No more on life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few On Fame's eternal camping ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead. |
