THE WALL OF FACES

Edward is buried at Saint Charles Cemetery, East Farmingdale, Suffolk County,NY. Sect 18, Row NN, Grave 75

Dear SP4 Edward Mathew Amato, 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

There is a special place in my heart that you fill. From the day I met you until eternity, you will always remain there. I miss you.
Love,
Lee
