His aircraft was shot down on his 16th mission near Berlin Germany and he was held as a prisoner of war in Stalag Luft 1, Barth, Germany, for 14 months until he was liberated by Russian troops.
He worked with the Agricultural Extension Service as a County Agent from 1952 through 1978 in Mississippi County, Clay County and Poinsett County, Arkansas.
Mr. Carter's greatest accomplishments were his love for his family, his constant concern and loyalty for his friends and his kindness toward everyone he met. Heaven is receiving a truly sweet and gentle man.
