John Rudolph Cummins Jr. was a man of small stature, dark hair and a friend to everyone, with a great smile. He attended school in Roswell, New Mexico and had a sister named Mattie. I heard of his death in Vietnam many years ago and have often thought fondly of him. This past June I went to Washington and visited the Wall. A very nice man helped me find "Rudy's" name and we made a rubbing. I personally did not have many close friends in school but always thought of Rudy as a friend that I would like to know better. God Bless you, Rudy! I know you sacrificed an exciting, joy-filled life to serve our country. For that I am eternally grateful. All your brothers in arms deserve our respect even though many did not receive any on arriving home from many of the lazy generation. Trust me, sir, that did not speak for many of us. You have been gone for some 40 years ... gone, but not forgotten.
