THE WALL OF FACES

Dad, I was only 5 when we lost you but you've been a huge inspiration to me my entire life. I've been fortunate to meet and talk to several of the brave men you served with. They've shared so much with me about you that I never knew. Thanks to them your memory will live on through me and your grandsons. I love you.

DEAR CHIEF WARRANT OFFICER BERNER,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN UTILITY/OBSERVATION HELICOPTER PILOT. WITH EACH YEAR THAT PASSES, IT MAKES IT FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOUR SACRIFICE. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE.. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE.

Veteran's Day is a yearly reminder to me of your ultimate sacrifice. Rest well.

Dear CWO Edgar Davidson Berner, 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

Edgar is buried at Zion Church Cemetery, Marshall, Clark County, IL.
