THE WALL OF FACES

I remember your mother, Mary (also my great grandmother) expressing how much she loved you as I grew up. I could see the sadness in her eyes when she would talk about you, knowing she lost you. Thank you for fighting for our country. You will always be remembered. Love, your brother Tim's granddaughter

My mother speaks of one memory as a child that was amazing. She has so much respect for Cousin "Pep." I feel like I knew him....from her kind words. Bless you and Thank you for serving.

Dear LT Peter Frederick Cherney, 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

Peter is buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park, Whittier, Los Angeles County, CA.

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the sielnt dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.
