Remembering An American Hero

Dear LCPL Bernard W Edwards Jr, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter

For LCPL Bernard W. EDWARDS, JR, USMC...another of Pittsburgh's bravest of heroes who gave his all!!

He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he told us so.
In honesty, in affection, he told us so.
He loved us so.
Every day, in a hundred ways, he showed us so.
With loyalty and bravery, he showed us so.
He was our defender, and he kept us free!
He took an oath to guard us, and fought for liberty!
He loved us so, and we should know.
For we loved him so.
LCPL Edwards, your sacrifice was NOT in vain! You did brave deeds for our country. We are still free and strong because of your heroic service to our Nation.
Our flag of red, and white and blue still flies over our land. You have given all that mortality can give! Your name and fame are the BIRTHRIGHT of EVERY American citizen! You have never failed us! You had been there and done that, in the defense of liberty and justice for all! I honestly believe that Jill Corey, whom Avonmore (her home town) and Pittsburgh (where she got her start) can claim as one of their own, and whom I greatly admire as one of my three top favorite songbirds, along with Julie Andrews, who is from England, and Dusty Springfield, also from England, but she passed on some years ago, would be proud of your service to America! Well done, Marine! Be thou at peace. SEMPER FI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
