THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lt Edward Golder,
Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear 1LT Edward Enoch Golder III, 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, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Mere words cannot express my appreciation for your service to our country and the ultimate sacrifice that you made so that other might have their freedom.

Although it may have seemed and others might feel the loss of your life was in vain and that the Vietnam War was a senseless war I am one American who does not believe this. I believe that what you did for your country was not in vain but that your sacrifice has been and will always be an influence for good for our country for generations to come.

Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing up for what was right and for paying the ultimate price.

In your honor today on your Angel Day I leave this short poem for you:

“There is not greater love than this.
There is not a greater gift that can ever be given.
To be willing to die, so another might live.
There is not greater love than this.”
~ Steven Curtis Chapman

Edward is buried at Arlington Nat Cem.

We still miss you and have not forgotten. I'm pleased someone left your picture here. Would love to hear from your family. God rest you in His palm until we meet on that other shore.
