Georgia hunter becomes war hero in Iraq rescue and combat tour
Carter, an honors student and Georgia Bulldog fan from Watkinsville, joined Attack Company in Iraq where he saved a bleeding woman on a bridge in Hindiyah. He fought through April aiding the Medina Division HQ, blasted Saddam portraits, and killed two insurgents near a levee complex before news of Saddam's regime falling reached Baghdad. Carter reflected on combat as a test of leadership and requested to return home once the mission ended.
