He was from Parma, Missouri and served as a crew chief/ door gunner on a UH-1C gunship. On May 5, 1968, in combat operations near Landing Zone Center, Carter and his door gunner, SP5 Black, were hit by .51 caliber machine gun fire and wounded. Both were medically evacuated to Japan. His pilot was Cpt. Ron Grooms, the gun platoon leader. These images span the twenty two years of Carters' service in the US Army.
