Sgt. Francis "Bugs" Rummel

In memory of Sgt. Francis "Bugs" Rummel, who died in Vietnam, June 8, 1966.

There is a wound that never heals,

Though time keeps passing by,

It opens up when I hear taps.

I know then that I'll cry,

Soldiers, coming home to rest,

Old and tired, but true.

Remember them, that's all I ask,

Think what they gave for you.
