The “Friends of Rocky Versace” remember one of the 68* men whose name is chiseled into stone beneath a Gold Star at Alexandria's Captain Rocky Versace Plaza and Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Corporal Robert William Cupp, on what would’ve been his 73d birthday – 17 June 2020.

It’s been 52 years... we still miss you Uncle Bob and talk about you all the time. Granny’s gone and we are going through personal belongings now. As we’ve been dividing things among family, so many sweet memories of you, Granny and Grandpa surround us. Many smiles and some tears. Things that once meant something to you are being treasured by other generations of our family. Mom is a rock; you’d be so proud of her. Your sacrifice is remembered every day, but especially today. Until we meet again...

On the 52nd Anniversary of your death in Vietnam, thank you, Corporal Robert “Bob” Cupp, for your service and your sacrifice for our country, for our freedoms. May your sacrifice be remembered forever by our grateful nation. Rest in heavenly peace, Brave Soldier. Hooaah!

It’s been 51 years ago today. You are still missed so much. Losing your buddy Steve Davenport last Fall was a shock; he was an amazing friend & dedicated to carrying on your memory. Granny is slowly fading away & we know soon you will be reunited. Mom has been amazing & talks about you alot. Until we meet again....
