Shazam, shazam, shazam Sgt Carter.

Your service to this country is greatly appreciated Sgt Carter.

I dont feel like reading, what did he do?

Damned good to know that such people walk among us. Let us hope this extraordinary young man survives the current wars to eventually make the civilian world a better place as well.

Well then, bookmark the official narrative for a time when you do feel like reading. Or print it out and place next to your toilet for the next time you take a dump. Whatever, it is well worth the few minutes it takes to read vs. the inspiration and appreciation you will glean from having done so.

Don't mean to sound like a smart ass, just think a MoH award winners official narrative is well worth time, and worth more than some strangers version of a TL;DR.

In the mean time, here are a few pictures to look at.

Reminds me of the firebases from Vietnam.
