The Union Volunteers

In Memorium

Richard "Dick" Rosche Frankie "June" Ruiz

Sadly, in the autumn of this year, 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 their initials as, in a very real sense, they 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.
