Rep. Carter continues to fight for our Military and Veterans. He fought President Obama and was able to secure Purple Hearts benefits for the victims of the 2009 Fort Hood terrorist attack.

In the aftermath of the 2009 Fort Hood terrorist attack, President Obama declared the attack ‘work place violence’ instead of what it really was an act of terrorism. Because of Rep. Carter never gave up the victims of the Fort Hood terrorist attack were awarded the Purple Heart and received the appropriate awards and recognition.
