 On October 3rd, 2009, in the Hindu Kush Mountains along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, combat outpost Keating was attacked by approximately 300 insurgents. Cop Keating was positioned at the bottom of a constricted, bowl-shaped valley. A coordinated and complex attack from all four sides had US forces pinned down. Without thinking about his own safety, then-specialist Tye Carter repeatedly resupplied ammunition, provided first aid, killed enemy fighters, and risked his own life to save a fellow soldier that was pinned down by enemy fire. I remember getting out of bed and hearing the machine guns and mortars and explosions going off, and it seemed like there was a machine gun focused on that one spot. So I took a step back, not because I was scared, but because I was like, I need to do this at a running start. So luckily, with that, I made it through. A couple of the guys didn't, when they exited that door. My platoon sergeant was on the hill. He was saying, we need to know who needs what. We need to know what towers need help. And I was out of breath, but I was able to yell, everyone needs everything. Staff Sergeant Carter will receive the Medal of Honor for his actions during the attack on Cop Keating. After all that he has been through and all that he has done, Staff Sergeant Carter remains humble and grateful for the fallen soldiers and their families.
